Hi Andreas,

on my side, since in Jessie we still have the old SAMtools, and since most NGS
applications using the libbam have not been migrated to the HTSlib, I would not
consider portability issues RC for Jessie.  This would bring constant work
before and after the release, for very few benefits.

Needless to say, the fixes are welcome in Sid.

Have a nice day,

Charles
