[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#833493: cufflinks fails to build from source with gcc-6

Hi,

the cufflinks package in Debian received a bug report that it does not
build with gcc version 6 which will be the new default compiler inside
Debian.  Some analysis has shown[1] that the problematic code is in an
old code copy of liblemon which is verbosely copied into cufflinks
source code.  The suggested procedure was to link cufflinks against the
latest version of liblemon.  Unfortunately the interface of liblemon
has changed and its not a simple rebuild.

I wonder whether you intend to port cufflinks to the latest liblemon
version to make future versions of your code sustainable.  This would
be really helpful.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
