[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1113092: Status of lambda-align

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi Andreas,

thanks for taking a look!

Yes, I noticed too that the bug was addressed, thanks for that!

Maybe a good question for Enrico, since he's both the one who did the 
upload and someone with a solid SeqAn background :)

I can only imagine the command line usage or output format has changed 
enough across versions to have pipelines using lambda require a specific 
version. That's reason enough to keep version 1 i Debian, IMHO -- if 
there are still popular tools that use haven't migrated yet.

Cheers
