Dear James and everybody,

in Debian, we are about to follow this recommendation and distribute the
headers in /usr/include/samtools.  Other programs distribute bam.h or sam.h
header files in their own subdirectory, so it looks like best practice
to do so with samtools as well.

libadplug-dev: /usr/include/adplug/bam.h
libcorosync-dev: /usr/include/corosync/sam.h

Have a nice day,
