[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#907624: What ffindex do we want to package

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

after reading https://github.com/soedinglab/ffindex_soedinglab/issues/4
I came to the conclusion that we somehow picked the wrong fork of
ffindex.  For me it seems very probable that if we pick the old codebase
bug #907624 which was introduced when choosing this will vanish if we
revert to the previously packaged code base.  I have a local commit
which is doing this:

Upstream at github.com/ahcm/ffindex was extremely quick to tag a
release and so it is at least active.

Steffen, was your pick intentional or did you just stumbled by chance
over the other fork?  Are you OK with reverting to the old code?

Kind regards

      Andreas.

PS: I reported the segfault issue to the according fork anyway
