Looks like libbam-dev is the reason for the libbio-samtools-perl regression
on s390x. libbam-dev is used by libbio-samtools-perl and build based on it's
source package samtools-legacy, which includes another version of bgzf,
that misses the 'Remove compressBound assertions' (PR #1258) fix.

Problematic is that the code differs quite a bit from the one in the htslib
or bedtools package (no bgzf_hopen etc. - looks pretty much out of date),
so the PR does not apply cleanly.

According to upstream 'https://github.com/lh3/samtools-legacy' the project
is "For testing only." and marked as "DON'T USE!" and it's last update
is from Nov 9, 2013.
I've created a separate 'update-excuse' but for this: LP#1983255
