[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#483187: Bug#483187: samba: recommended action (smb.conf.master) is broken

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Richard A Nelson (cowboy at debian.org):
> Package: samba
> Version: 1:3.0.29-1
> Severity: normal
> 
> In the new version of smb.conf is this section:
> 
> # A well-established practice is to name the original file
> # "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with
> # testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf
> # This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
> # which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance

Actually, one of upstream's recommendations is to *not* use this
method when include files that use macros are used..:-)

Exactly for the reason you described..

We should probably add this to the comment.
