...which is recommended by winbind.

(thanks for your help on this Stephen....while I'm talking to you,
have you noticed my NMU intent about clamav?)

Back to the topic : I wonder what we should do about this bug. It's
definitely not RC, I think, but, at least for users who don't pull
Recommends, there is a chance that we break existing setups when
upgrading from squeeze, in the situation described in this bug report.

We should, in some way, ensure that libpam-winbind is pulled when
upgrading from pre-3.5.11~dfsg-2 versions of winbind.

Steve, any input on this?
