[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#744711: samba4: unsuitable for a stable release

[Ivo De Decker]

package: src:samba4
version: 4.0.0~beta2+dfsg1-3.2
severity: serious

The samba4 source package in wheezy contains a beta version of samba 4.0. Most
samba functionality is disabled in this package, because it is provided by the
samba package (version 3.6.6) in wheezy. Only the samba AD DC functionality is
enabled, but it is severely limited.

There is no security support for this beta version of samba. It is vulnerable
to a number of public issues.

The samba4 package in wheezy is not suitable for usage in a production
environment. It should not have been released with wheezy.
