basilisk is also needed for r-bioc-zellkonverter, which is further needed to
pass the autopkgtests for
r-bioc-hdf5array
For now, I have disabled tests of hdf5array needing zellkonverter to unbreak
the migrations.
But this definitely is a TODO.
I have not gone through the code yet, but if there is a way to disable baslisk
and replace the functionality
by something else, that could be a a good way forwd.
But I do wonder if more packages in future might as well end up needing
basilisk too.
