[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#607500: The samba package should at least recommend or suggest samba-common-bin

[June Tate-Gans]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3
Severity: important


Upon a simple install of the samba server via the usual method (apt-get
install samba), it appears that basic configuration tools and management
utilities are not installed, such as smbpasswd. Turns out, in Squeeze, these are
in a new package called `samba-common-bin' which isn't recommended or even
suggested in the samba package.

We should fix that lest we have users complaining down the road.
