Just by way of explanation (for anyone who might not be reading the log
entries on my commit mails :), the issue here was that 3.2.0~rc2 was
svn-load'ed onto branches/samba/upstream, which is the branch currently
being used for 3.0; there is a separate branches/samba/upstream-3.2 branch
that can be used for svn-loads of the package in experimental.  I've
documented this now in the debian/README.source on that branch.

I thought maybe I had forgotten this in the documentation, but I see it's
listed in the bottom of the debian/README.source, so shame on you. ;)

Sadly, it looks like I worked on 3.0.30 without ever noticing the upstream
sources for that one hadn't been merged yet.  It's a good thing I didn't try
to upload it myself, or, um... we would have ended up with a very large
.diff.gz (i.e., fully reverting the upstream differences between 3.0.29 and
3.0.30).

Apology accepted.  Beer also accepted! ;-)
