[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#527025: samba: location of "private dir" is wrong

[Christian Perrier]

Package: samba
Version: 3.2.5-4
Severity: serious

For a reason I can't explain but could very well be a mistake of mine
at some moment, we currently use /var/lib/samba for "private dir".

That will indeed be the very last remaining of the FHS patches.

This is the location where passdb.tdb|smbpasswd files are kept (when
using tdbsam or smbpasswd as "passdb backend") as well as secrets.tdb
that contains....secrets... (such as machine accounts passwords).

We need to change this as this is certainly a violation of the
policy...but, of course, we need to provide a mimgration path in
maintainer scripts.

I "version-tag" this for versions in lenny in case we decide to fix
that issue for lenny.
