[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#525859: smbclient: breaks BackupPC backups of shares with password

FYI:

smbclient 3.3.3-1~bpo50+1 from backports.org (and therefore, I guess,
3.3.3 from sid) behaves the same.

The smbclient man page says this about the -N option:

   If a password is specified on the command line and this option is also
   defined the password on the command line will be silently ingnored and
   no password will be used.

It said the same in smbclient 3.0.30, but the behavior was clearly
different: $PASSWD wasn't ignored.
