These changes have not yet been pushed to salsa.debian.org/med-team/htslib.git so it is difficult to verify the bug fix.

What is the purpose of the htslib-test subpackage? Its description says it contains the test data and scripts (from test/*), presumably so the upstream HTSlib test suite can be run against the library and tools installed from libhts3 and the subpackage currently named tabix. Why then does it also include HTSlib source code and an incomplete copy of HTSlib's build infrastructure?
