dbwrap*.so is now in samba-common-bin.  The issue is that this almost
certainly depends on the credentials library, so we may need yet another
library package, or to re-consider if this should be a distinct package
at all. 

The issue of dependencies between these packages is something that will
only improve with a lot of work, so any assistance you can give would be
most welcome, it is series and isn't a trivial issue to fix.

Certainly fixing it in unstable seems unlikely except for migration of
the soon to be experimental package from samba_4.0, so that is where the
effort needs to be made.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
