The Samba (3) suite has had a facelift, but Samba4 has now entered
Sid with its old package descriptions intact, full of early-nineties
topical references like "LanManager" and "OS/2" and "the next
generation"... 

 Samba 3: "SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix"
 Samba 4: "LanManager-like file server for Unix (version 4)"

They also still label the suite as "_experimental_" and not ready
for real use.  Is this still true?  Will it be true when Samba4 is a
candidate for release in Squeeze?  If not, you're going to have to
change the package descriptions anyway, so please bring them in line
with Samba's.
