[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#539337: winbind: Fails domain authentication

I am currently running those systems with winbind (and its samba
friends) pinned to 3.2.5-2, so I don't know whether the bug exists in
the current version or not. The bug is so serious that it makes
winbind/samba completely useless for us.

I can try to determine whether the bug still exists in the current
version but this will take until sometime next week. 

A description of the bug is simply:

On our domain-joined server, running winbind, attempting a
wbinfo -a user%pass 
fails for both cleartext and challenge response. The
server reports 
"api_pipe_bind_req: unknown auth type 9 requested."

In other words winbind appears to use an auth type unknown to the authentication server.
