These symlinks are apparently created during in the "installmodules"
target of the Makefile.

So, it could just be that we need to add the two symlinks to
debian/winbind.files. Not sure if dh_movefiles will cope with
this. Alternatively we need to create the directory and the symlinks
manually in debian/rules
