[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#408508: samba-common: Invalid man pages

[Reuben Thomas]

Package: samba-common
Version: 3.0.23d-4
Severity: normal

When reading smb.conf(5), I get errors like

/tmp/zmanp23tWp:2976: warning: numeric expression expected (got `a')

and when reading this and other man page I see HTML entities from time
to time where I would expect for example a bullet point; for example,
in smbpasswd(8), under the documentation for "-R", each item starts
with "•".
