[Debian-med-packaging] bamtools_2.5.2+dfsg-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Michael Crusoe]

There are indeed breaking changes in the ABI between 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 ;

Therefore I suggest keeping upstream's SOVERSION (rejecting Andreas's
upload) and asking upsteam to adjust their practices for future releases.
