Hi Andreas and everybody,

I think that I was waiting for the outcome of the discussion with Upstream, for
which there was a conclusion this week.  Sorry that I forgot already the
conclusion (patch ?  not patch ?)  In any case, once this decisison has been
made, the symbols file can be updated.

I am personally in favor of using a symbols file for the htslib but if the
other people working on it dislike this system, then you can delete it.  I
think that I have explained enough times why I think that if there would be
only a single package in which to use the symbols system in Debian Med, it
would be htslib.

I can update the file but will not have time for extras.  Thus, if nobody else
than me wants / can update the file, I think that it will be a good reason
to delete it.

Have a nice week-end,
