Thanks for working on this.

Some minor remarks:

  1. You can most probably remove Shaun Jackman from Uploaders.
     As far as I understood Shaun he does not even find time for
     those packages where he is upstream.

  2. I *personally* would use libhtsjdk-java also as source
     package name.  Since Emmanuel did not mentioned this it is
     possibly no declared pkg-java policy so feel free to ignore
     this hint.

  3. Fixed a minor typo in README.Debian (please pull)

  4. Since I have not noticed any mails on the commit list I
     changed the config on git.debian.org (see if it works now
     after my change).

The package is fine for Upload from my point of view.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
