[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#652942: Do we really need to reload samba in DHCP enter hook?

I actually wonder whether we really need to reload the samba daemons
when doing our magic in smb.conf in DHCP enter/exit hooks.

Indeed, after discussing with Volker, this is probably useless as nmbd
never re-register with a new WINS server, so to make what we want we
need to *restart* nmbd, not reload it.

I would actually be in favor of *not* reloading /etc/init.d/samba at
all...until we find better way to handle this (such as kniwing when we
are in the shutdown/reboot process).
