[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#890303: [Help] Please fix symbols file of htslib and more importantly check samtools dependency line (Was: Bug#890303: htslib: autopokgtest failure)

Hi,

while I think I've fixed the reported bug the upload of htslib came a
bit uncoordinated.  We all know that the dependency line of htslib and
samtools is a bit weak and just uploading the first chain link in an
unfinished state (symbols file is broken and lintian is throwing an
error) should not happen to unstable (at best to experimental).  I'm
currently on my extended travel home from Debian Med sprint and can not
do much more than fixing the bug below but I think an upload should at
least include a fixed symbols file.  Could anybody please care for
this.

Moreover:  I imported samtools 1.7 into Git but the patches do not apply
and also need some work.  Can somebody please take over to make the
samtools chain consistent at least in the beginning?

Thank you

      Andreas.
