Unfortunately there is no stability in the internal Samba 3 API's, so I
don't think it we should just blindly install these headers. 

At the very least, what is installed should be limited to those headers
that are relatively stable. Samba 4, talloc and tdb headers should be
excluded since they're already packaged elsewhere.

A perhaps saner solution would be to have upstream install those headers
that are stable and necessary for building modules rather than trying to
figure out what that set is on our own.

Cheers,
