[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#673117: cifs-utils: mount.cifs fails without any message nor log

[DenisR]

Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:5.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

During last cifs-utils, smbfs package has been removed.
Starting from this point all windows share mount (which worked previously)
delcared in my fstab stopped working

After trying to run the mount.cifs as root directly or as root using sudo, I
finally discovered that mount.cifs behave as if it simply ignore any input and
stops.
For example /sbin/mount.cifs //toto /tutu (neither the server toto nor the
folder /tutu exist) return immediately wihout error notice.
