[Debian-med-packaging] biosig 2.1.2

[Alois Schlögl]

Stimfit should be another package that should reverse-depend on 
libbiosig, at least when
    ./configure --with-biosig
is used.

No rebuild should be necessary, the only change that might be relevant 
to the API of libbiosig is in the patch below.
Neither Stimfit nor SigViewer are using this part of the API.
