[Pkg-samba-maint] Debian Bug report #808769 and Samba 4.3.5 and/or Samba 4.4.0

[valdir.marcos at ig.com.br]

Hello, 

Sorry, my intention was not to press no one. I know how hard it is to
maintain a Debian package. 

I didn't know that Jelmer Vernooij was alone on this task. 

I was just asking a question. 

The bug #808769 is one of the bugs that prevents recent versions of
Samba to enter Testing since Samba 4.1.7 on 2015-02-25. 

Thanks for your information.

Samba 4.3.5 was released in February 23, 2016. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Release_Planning_for_Samba_4.3 [1] Samba 4.4.0 is planned to be released in March 8, 2016. It's about two weeks from now. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Release_Planning_for_Samba_4.4 [2]
