[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#483640: upgrading samba fails if I have the K20samba link

[Obi]

thanks for the quick response: after your email, I searched more for the
debian way to not start daemon and I started to use sysv-rc-conf. So the
link that I have now (that is not K20samba but K19samba) is indeed
correct but it's been put by the script. Thanks for pointing me out in
the right direction.
