[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#494803: Samba: "winbind normalize names" not working

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.2.0-4

The option "winbind normalize names = yes" in smb.conf is NOT working. 
Neither any spaces get replaced with _ and higher case characters are 
also not converted to lower case. It simply doesn't seem to do anything. 
  My winbind config looks like this:

idmap domains = PHYSICS
idmap config PHYSICS:default = no
idmap config PHYSICS:backend = rid
idmap config PHYSICS:base_rid = 0
idmap config PHYSICS:range =10000-60000

allow trusted domains = no
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind use default domain = no
winbind nested groups = no
winbind normalize names = yes
winbind offline logon = true
winbind refresh tickets = true
template homedir = /mnt/data

Whenever I issue 'getent group' or 'getent passwd' the non-normalized 
names are shown like ie.:

"PHYSICS\epo alert"

and

"PHYSICS\domain users"
