[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#638066: Bug#638066: winbind initscript should always run after samba initscript

[Christian PERRIER]

Quoting Phil Gold (pgold at hillmgt.com):

Because there is no reason for such dependency, and (IIRC) situations
where winbind can be useful without samba.

I partly agree with your analysis, but the fix seems to be putting
samba in Should-Start, not Required-Start.
