[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#561545: As soon as I update the bug, this happens...

[Mike Young]

Right after updating this bug, the Samba folks provided a patch for the 
dot problem.
It is going in as bug 7005 and involves replacing the dot in the 
filename string if it gets removed during processing.

They are attaching a patch now.
I'll test it out and update here with more details.

Given the fact that mangle method=hash is broken all-together in lenny, 
and that the fix(es) are entirely self contained to mangle_hash.c, I 
would vote to update stable. The changes won't impact the default 
"hash2" method and fix a regression from etch. (Of course I'm not an 
impartial vote...) :-)
