[Pkg-samba-maint] Another ubuntu patch: reload samba when interfaces are bringed up

This one seems less questionable to me.

A recent Ubuntu patch, discussed in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/180493
seems quite OK to me, but still for 3.0.28a-2:


  * debian/samba.if-up
     - ifup hook to reload samba once the interfaces comes up. (LP: #180493)

This involves adding debian/samba.if-up and the following to
debian/rules at the end of the install: target:

       mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/etc/network/if-up.d
        install -o root -g root debian/samba.if-up $(DESTDIR)/etc/network/if-up.d/samba

I changed the Ubuntu script to use invoke-rc.d instead of direct calls
to /etc/init.d/samba

Advices? Comments?

if [ -x "/etc/init.d/samba" ]; then
	if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
		invoke-rc.d samba reload || exit $?
	else
		/etc/init.d/samba reload || exit $?
	fi
fi

exit 0
