Hi,

It seems the htslib ecosystem upgrade to version 1.21 stalled.

Andreas, I hope you don't mind I follow up by email to your
question on #debian-med:matrix.org?  I felt more comfortable
analysing the issue closely than throwing a quick answer in the
chat:

I begun to dig into changes necessary to get pysam support for
htslib 1.21 and friends, and they seem to involve several
upstream commits.  I noted at least:

  * 6147f5da869065c141aa8235ecbeb251d6e09bbe
  * 923aad9a9477bca02bd6838d63e59e7f0101dc8d (possibly)
  * b1e87ef6f22d0b9177d513891e0f4a4b84457200
  * d3d2733e77e8db3ece4cd44ff5f9fee23e1342d2
  * f4319112d89654ec862b832488315bb3657514a1

Waiting for a newer upstream sounds more prudent in my opinion.
Keeping these commits at hand may be helpful in case we were to
run into Trixie release freeze; synchronizing to the current
state of the master branch may be a fine option too, at least
better than cherry picking upstream commits.

In the meantime, it may be useful to follow up with other
components upgrades into Debian experimental, this would
facilitate further testing from various parties.

Have a nice day,  :)
