[Pkg-samba-maint] Request little update in package for bug resolution

[Nicola Mingotti]

Esteemed Debian Samba Maintainers,

I am running Samba in our company as a DC. In general it works all fine !
Thank you all for this.

There is a little issue though, with the current release of
Samba package in Debian Stable it is impossible to ssh
to a Windows computers in the Domain via public key auth.

After a very long discussion in the Samba mailing list and
some writing into GitHub OpenSSH page, a couple of people that
seem knowledgeable say the problem is a Bug in Samba
which has been resolved in 4.13.

See here.
https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/1543#issuecomment-820538742

For this reason I ask you if it is possible to update a bit
that package to resolve the bug. I don't know if that is at
all possible, it is the first time I ask such thing for a package.

I would prefer to keep working with a stable package since that
is what I do in all of my servers. I am sure other administrators
will be happy to get ssh working in the Domain.

Thank you again for you time and you work.
