Its dirty but probably solves the problem in a way that causes the least
work for us currently. However, I think the popcon count is anyway
"alarming" enough to assume that we might leave some unhappy users
behind.

What did you wrote? Probably need to start reading from top because I
forgot what was written there. ;-)

I have a slight preference for Oliviers suggestion and I'd be fine with
waiting once he is back from holidays. We should keep the dirtier
method (which was in some mail I need to reread because I forgot) in
mind if something might cause any problem.
There might be a third way that also qualifies as dirty solution: As I
said we could inject LoadSnappy.java as patch and by doing so build the
package successfully. Then we could *Conflict* picard-tools with
libsnappy-java to make sure that the class is not found at execution
time. Could you please exlpain again the advantage of having libsnappy
for the picard-tools user?
Kind regards
Andreas.
