[Pkg-samba-maint] samba 4.4.5 backports

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

Yeah, all you say i understand. 

@Alex, thats why i included Jelmer Vernooij and Andrew Barlett.


@Gianfranco, I'm not a maintainer just a packager. 

This build is an one on one rebuild from debian stretch sources.
Nothing changed here. Only one package needed a higher version in the depends. 

I used : dch --bpo "No changes."  
Thats not good? 

Or when needed like nss-wrapper needs cmocka 1.0.1+ 
dch --bpo "Changed debian/control depends to cmocka 1.0.1~."

>> and also you deleted debian/.gitignore in your backport. 
Uh no, if it isnt there , then it wasnt there. 
I dont delect change anything when not needed. 


I'll wait with the upload untill i get a go from one of the maintainers. 


Greetz, 

Louis
