Here is what I propose, then.


I'm not entirely sure about which patch the changes to dynconfig.*
belong to. With the below rationale, that would be the first one,
fhs-newpatch.patch


Actually, the order of applying changes should be:

fhs-newpaths.patch: non disruptively introduce new path variables
      --> could be applied by upstream without changing their
          coding policy

fhs-filespaths.patch: associate files with the new paths
      --> could be applied upstream without changing the default
          behaviour of samba (non disruptive wrt users) but needing
          them to adapt their coding policy (location for existing
          files and what path to use for new stuff), thus disruptive
          for developers

fhs.patch: better respect the FHS
      --> could remain Debian specific as it affects the files
          locations and needs documenting the transition when
          upgrading
