Well, the igv binary package had no dependencies defined. :-(
Something must have failed in the ${java:Depends} subsitution.
For the moment I've added the most important ones and uploaded.

I've verified that the igv_2.4.6+dfsg-1 package in unstable has

Package: igv
Architecture: all
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends},
         ${misc:Depends},
         ${java:Depends}

in the source package which results according to apt-cache show igv
in

Package: igv
Version: 2.4.6+dfsg-1
Installed-Size: 17818
Maintainer: Debian Med Packaging Team <debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Depends: junit4, libbatik-java, libbcprov-java, libcofoja-java, libcommons-io-java, libcommons-logging-java, libcommons-math-java, libcommons-net-java, libgoogle-gson-java, libguava-java, libhtsjdk-java, libhttpclient-java, libhttpcore-java, libjama-java, libjargs-java, libjaxp1.3-java, libjcommon-java, libjfreechart-java, libjgrapht0.8-java, libjhdf5-java, libjide-oss-java, libjlibeps-java, liblog4j1.2-java, libswing-layout-java, libxml-commons-external-java


When I now build igv in an up to date unstable chroot no dependencies
are added at all.  Thus I've manually added the dependencies that are
obviosly needed to start the program but something is definitely wrong.

Any comment from the Debian Java team?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
