[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#496201: samba-dbg: package description overhaul

reassign 496201 samba
forcemerge 496200 496201
thanks

Merging the samba-dbg and samba reports, since the descriptions for the two
should be very similar.

Actually, it covers the samba, smbclient, samba-common, and winbind
packages.  It doesn't cover samba-tools, swat, smbfs, libpam-smbpass,
libsmbclient, or libwbclient0.

So I'm not sure whether it's worthwhile to enumerate the covered packages in
the description, or if it's better to say that it's debugging information
for "the software in the Samba suite"?

Reconciling with the updated description for samba:

 Description: Samba debugging symbols
  Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems,
  providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with
  Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems.
  .
  This package provides debugging information for the software in the
  Samba suite. Install it to get a better backtrace in the event of a
  crash.

Alternatively, it might be appropriate to flip the paragraphs to give the
explanation of samba-dbg before the general description of samba?
