Like you indicated, that's not the only concern. On behalf of stable
release users, I think making a recent version of samtools available in
stable-backports is important-- I think the backports repository is a
huge reason why Debian stable is usable for everyday purposes (and it's
the main reason why I switched to Debian from Ubuntu for my own machines).

If that's the case, waiting for 1.3 sounds reasonable. Thanks for
clarifying that.
Many thanks and regards
