What version is that? At least in current versions, winbind depends on
samba, and samba recommends samba-dsdb-modules. So you should get
samba-dsdb-modules by default when you install winbind.

DSDB modules aren't necessary if you're not running a AD DC server.
Why are you installing without recommends? This is exactly what
recommends is used for.

>From debian policy
(https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html):

Recommends

  This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.

  The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together
  with this one in all but unusual installations.
