Version: 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Samba Maintainers,

there was some discussion about how to translate the second paragraph of the
package description (1). It says:

  ... and nss_wins, which provides hostname lookups via the WINS and NBNS
  protocols.

I would suggest to  s/WINS and NBNS protocols./WINS/NBNS service/  or 
something
equivalent, as WINS and NBNS are implementations of the same protocol (2),
(3):

   NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS)

   This service is often called WINS on Windows systems.

   The NetBIOS Name Service is part of the NetBIOS-over-TCP protocol 
suite, see
   the NetBIOS page for further information.

Kind regards,
   Martin
