[Pkg-samba-maint] Heads up: we need something to warn users about passdb backend change in 3.4

[Christian Perrier]

3.4.0 will change the default passdb backend from smbpasswd to tdbsam.

That will likely break existing setups where the passdb backend is not
explicitely set in smb.conf.

I think this is a quite good use of a debconf note with the following
way to do it:

if "upgrade from < 3.4 to >=3.4"
  if "not found 'passdb backend' in smb.conf"
    display note
  fi
fi

One should not, though, that our default smb.conf already explicitely
sets "passdb backend".

Steve, what's your stance on this?
