[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#696675: Pre-approval request for a fix to samba, targeted at wheezy (bug #696675)

[Christian PERRIER]

Hello dear release team,

This is a bit overdue but I'd like to fix bug #696675 in samba.

This bug is currently "severity important" but one's mileage may vary,
and for some users, it might become release critical, particularly
because it implies a regression from squeeze.

Because of samba upstream bug #9042, upgrading from samba 3.5 and, I
suspect samba 3.4 as well, may lead to lose printer definitions for
shared printers, because the TDB file cannot be migrated.

This might heavily break existing installs.

As the fix is quite not too invasive and it has been proven reliable
upstream (there have been a few upstream releases since 3.6.7 and none
of them showed regressions wrt this fix), I think it would be good to
have this in wheezy.

Please find the proposed diff attached.
