[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#626381: samba-common: Please ask about activating SMB2 when upgrading from pre-3.6.0 versions

[Christian Perrier]

Package: samba-common
Version: 2:3.6.0~pre3-1
Severity: wishlist

This is a rough idea that popped up in post discussions during
Jeremy's talk at Samba XP: 3.6.0 will not ship with SMB2 activated by
default (mostly "because distros would kill us" as Jeremy said).

We could however ask through debconf whether people want to activate
it (medium priority, default to "no"). That could make a sensible
improvement visible to Those Who Care.
