Package: fasttree Version: 2.1.7-1 Hi,
as described in detail at http://darlinglab.org/blog/2015/03/23/not-so-fast-fasttree.html fasttree 2.1.7 has a a serious issue for many genomic epidemiology studies which can lead to completely wrong conclusions about research results in biomedicine. The current version of fasttree in jessie (2.1.7-1) has this severe deficiency. The above article describes the patch needed to prevent the flaw. Upstream incorporated the fix in version 2.1.8. In my opinion this bug is release critical and should be fixed before the release of jessie. I've already prepared a patched new package for this, so the bug could be closed very fast after uploading that new package version.
