[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#674853: winbind should depend on libpam-winbind and libnss-winbind for wheezy

Package: winbind
Version: 2:3.6.5-3
Severity: serious

Common practice in Debian is that when functionality got split out
of one package, that package will depend in the next stable release
on the new packages to avoid breakages on upgrades.

Please drop the latest two entry from NEWS.Debian, and instead
change the Recommends to a Depends for wheezy.

Not sure whether the severity is too high for this since it only
makes a difference for people with Install-Recommends set to false,
but it is anyway trivial to fix.

As a bonus, this would slightly reduce the flood of NEWS.Debian
entries a user might see during an upgrade.

Note that this bug is only about a temporary change for minimizing
the possible breakage for people upgrading from squeeze to wheezy,
for wheeze+1 it is perfectly fine to demote these dependencies
to Suggests.
