I am even member of the Debian Med team, I think, so helping out won't be a problem at all ^^ But don't count or rely on me please, I can't really promise anything. >> Is BioD a normal shared library?

That looks like fun, there are quite a couple of submodules... With BioD having a Meson build file now, it also got a pkg-config file, so integrating it with the sambamba Makefiles should be way easier (just calling pkg-config with the right flags while building should do the job).
