Thanks Michael for everything you do to maintain the Samba packages in
Debian. 

The SAMBA_VERSION_VENDOR_SUFFIX=Debian in the Samba package is a
specific request from the upstream Samba team.

It is added because Debian carries patches that don't appear upstream
(it has got better, but there are still some) and the branding appears
in our debug logs (specifically in every PANIC) so we can ensure we are
debugging the right version and expecting the right behaviours when a
user has questions on the mailing list. 

Can you let me know why this needed to be removed and if possible
please put it back?
Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
