[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#706434: Bug#706434: Bug#706434: cifs-utils: Can the recommend on winbind be changed to suggests?

[Luk Claes]

reassign 706434 winbind
thanks mate

Reassigning bug to winbind as the recommends on winbind is to make sure
everything works when recommends are installed.

Cheers

Luk
