A patch might it explain my suggestion better!  Firstly, don't
generate the symlinks:

-    done

Secondly, ship an additional copy of the cram headers in htslib-test
(only 160KB):

 *.mk /usr/share/htslib-test
 *.c /usr/share/htslib-test

Package libhts-dev ships the cram headers in
/usr/include/htslib/cram/, while package htslib-test will ship them in
/usr/share/htslib-test/cram/, so the packages should be
co-installable.
