samtools 1.2 package layout change

[Tim Booth <avarus@fastmail.fm>]

Hi Charles,

I was looking to see if it was worth pulling the samtools 1.2 package
into Bio-Linux (Ubuntu LTS Backports) and I can see that the package for
1.2 has all the utility scripts going into /usr/bin where before they
were in /usr/{lib,share}/samtools.  A slew of Lintian warnings results.

I wondered if this is a deliberate change or just an artefact of the new
build system?  I'd be happy to commit a fix that either restores the old
layout or else adds Lintian overrides.  What do you think?

Actually, I see from previous discussion on the list that I should wait
for the 1.3 release which builds on i386, but I think the above question
will still apply.

Cheers,

TIM

Nothing is inherently mysterious - nothing that actually exists, that
is.  If I am ignorant about a phenomenon, that is a fact about my state
of mind, not a fact about the phenomenon; to worship a phenomenon
because it seems so wonderfully mysterious, is to worship your own
ignorance.
