Within the samba-doc package, we distribute everything that upstream gives
us in the htmldocs subdirectory.  This manual isn't in samba-doc 2:3.0.30-2
because it's been dropped upstream; I don't know why, the upstream changelog
(WHATSNEW.txt) also doesn't provide much explanation.

Yep, these should definitely be fixed then.
