[BioC] Rsamtools from biocLite using R-devel

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Just a note about this: so far I have not seen any resolution.  And
according to the devel build logs the R-devel on lamb2 (which I assume
is being used for generating the source tarballs, but I could be
completely wrong) is from 9-30 which is almost a month old (which kind
of surprised me) (pelham is 1.5 months old).
