[Pkg-samba-maint] Samba Jessie-backport

[Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda]

Hi,


I have reviewed the list and I have found that this topic has been threaded a 
few days ago. So, sorry for the noise. Some notes:

* Backport it's needed or patch the current version of Samba to support 
Windows 10.

* I agree with Alexander Wirt about the importance and complexity of Samba. A 
lot of people use it and IMHO it should be done by the Debian Samba 
Maintainers.

My two ct.

Leopold
