[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#870060: Runtime tests are failing on several hardware architectures (#720)

[James Bonfield]

When I was doing the windows port a huge number of bcftools failures were down to variation in the last digit of a floating point number - ie rounding differences.   I haven't looked at this particular issue, but we really need a more robust comparison mechanism to determine equality.

The other thing we need to be careful of is assuming zlib.  There are many equally valid deflate streams, but IIRC using say the intel deflate causes the test harness to fail too.
