[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#682861: add reportbug script for samba

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.6.6-2
Severity: wishlist

The samba package should include a reportbug script
(/usr/share/doc/reportbug/README.developers.gz), to collect more information
about the bug from the submitter.

The 'presubj' text could ask:
- mention client type/OS + version
- does the problem occur with other clients
- include a level 10 samba log (if available) 
- steps to reproduce the problem
- does the problem occur with other versions of samba (oldstable, stable,
  backports, testing, ...)
- if the problem doesn't seem related to the debian packaging, please submit
  the bug in the upstream bugzilla

Some of the could be asked by the bug script. The script could also include
the smb.conf in the bug report (we should probably ask the user for this, as
the smb.conf could contain info that shouldn't be public).

We could even start using usertags to group the bug reports, and have the
bugscript do this classification :)

Please add other suggestions to this bug report!

Cheers,

Ivo
