[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#633841: proposal of package name change to python-samba4

[Arvid Requate]

Package: python-samba
Version: 4.0.0~alpha15.dfsg1-1
Severity: important


A package named "python-samba" used to be build from the source package "samba"
(3.0.24-6+lenny3) in lenny. This binary package was removed from debian/control
later on (2:3.2.5-4lenny14 see http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/samba),
but some derived distributions have reenabled the build of python-samba in the
source package. Since this version has an epoch of 2, the normal upgrade of the
python-samba package to the current one build from the source package "samba4"
fails.  This can be avoided by simply renaming the package.

Also, to match the naming scheme of samba4/samba4-clients/winbind4 it would be
good to rename the binary package to "python-samba4".
