Please note that "Using Samba" is indeed in 3.2.0-pre2 (in Debian
experimental) so I think that not having it at all in 3.0.30 is only
an accident (the samba docs are maintained outside the  main GIT repo
and such accidents already happened in the past.

I'll mention that upstream. We could for sure re-add "Using Samba"
(which only exists in HTML from what I see) from pre-3.0.30 releases
in the Debian package only. I think we should do this if it turns out
that we release Lenny with 3.0.30
