[Pkg-samba-maint] Help needed with Samba 4.0.5 package

[Christian PERRIER]

Quoting Steve Langasek (vorlon at debian.org):

How can we handle the transition for our majority of users who are
running File and Print Services with no need for the AD DC part?

I guess you have your idea here, of course, Steve..:-)

My first idea would have been to leave things as they are with
/etc/init.d/samba launching smbd and nmbd and something else
(/etc/init.d/samba-ad-dc?) launching samba.

I agree this is somehow clumsy and, of course, if we started the
package from scratch, that would not make sense but, eh, we have years
of history behind us....

From Andrew's comments about future changes where only one daemon
would control everything (did I get the point correctly), I would be
inclined to make as few changes as possible to the existing stuff, at
least as of now.
