[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#771991: samba-libs dependencies are too strict

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Sorry, I should have clarified in the changelog that this new
upstream release is bug-fix only: it fixes a segfault in
pyldb, clarifies some documentation and adds a missing include to one
of the public headers.

I hadn't thought of the strict dependency in samba-libs on a specific
upstream samba version.

LDB has a stable public ABI, but does not promise anything about the
interface it provides for plugins (for reasons I won't go into here).
Because of this, Samba binary packages depend on a specific upstream
of ldb so that we know future versions of ldb aren't going to break
our plugins.

I'll upload a new version of Samba that relaxes the run time
dependency to allow both ldb 1.1.17 and 1.1.18, since there are no
difference in the plugin interface for those versions.

Cheers,

Jelmer
