[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#736430: Installing samba client also installs samba server

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.1.4+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

The latest update of samba related packages wanted to install the
"samba" server packages. On my client system I only had smbclient
installed. The dependency chains afaics goes like this:

smbclient depends samba-common recommends samba-common-bin depends
python-samba depends samba


I think what is new in 2:4.1.4+dfsg-2 is that python-samba depends on
samba, whereas it only depended on samba-libs in 2:4.1.4+dfsg-1.

Please consider adjusting the dependencies so installing the client
packages do not automatically install the server
