Yes...also for anything depending on bcftools indirectly (like pysam).

Yes, it is basically just asking the release team for an exception.
Here is the thread where I negotiated for circlator:
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2016/04/msg00198.html>
This took longer because I had to explain why bwa, spades, and pysam
could not be built for i386.
And I had to ask for exceptions again (on 5/29) recently for pbh5tools
and smrtanalysis. That message does not appear in their list archives
(yet?) for some reason, but that process was very quick since the
reasons were already explained before.
