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

[Andreas Tille]

Hi again,

Michael, could you please clarify whether we should reject my upload and
re-upload with your old SOVERSION?  I think upstream is doing a mistake
but finally we should not provide a different SOVERSION than the world
around us.  So please respond and lets do some action.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
