Since February 12, this is now officially blocking htslib from
migrating. This bug should be fixed either direction: or htslib fixes
the regression it causes in python-pysam, or python-pysam fixes its
autopkgtest to adapt to the new situation. Please agree which package
should be fixed and reassign it to that package, keeping the version
information.
