This is because libbam-dev is no longer built with -fPIC, even though
/usr/share/doc/libbam-dev/README.Debian still claims so. Reassigning.

This was on i386, where missing -fPIC doesn't cause a link error (I think),
so a bad guess on my part.

BTW, the Vcs-* entries of samtools-legacy don't seem to allow
unauthenticated access.  Could you please fix this.
