[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#800794: python-pysam: FTBFS on multiple archs due to cython error

[Scott Kitterman]

Package: python-pysam
Version: 0.8.3+ds1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

While rebuilding the package for the transition that adds python3.5 as a
supported python3 version it FTBFS on muliple archs.  Here's an example
log excerpt from ppc64el:

pysam/cbcf.c: At top level:
pysam/cbcf.c:47536:67: error: unknown type name ‘htsFormatCategory’
 static CYTHON_INLINE PyObject* __Pyx_PyInt_From_htsFormatCategory(htsFormatCategory value) {
                                                                   ^

pysam/cbcf.c:47614:64: error: unknown type name ‘htsCompression’

                                                                ^

debian/rules:17: recipe for target 'build-arch' failed

It seems unrelated to python3.5.
