[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#219242: use of commun functions names

[Christian Perrier]

> I rebuilt samba with the attached patch, and the number of symbols

> The patch adds a version script for this lib, which only exports symbols

That's definitely a big improvement even if I'm completely unable to
understand a single line (everybody knows how dumb I am).

Who takes care to report this to samba-technical (assuming the patch
is correct, which I'm blindly doing)? That probably needs being able
to talk about the details with the Samba Team, which excludes me..:-)

Steve? Julien? Or is Jerry listening enough? :)
