[Pkg-samba-maint] Samba 4.7 and beyond

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

I've made a package from experimental for Stretch and shared them on the samba list. 

For you guys the following info about these packages. 

Change and Buildlog: http://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/Buildlogs/stretch-unstable/ 
Packages and sources are om my apt. 
( browse the pool : http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian/pool/ ) 

Changes made: 
Samba: 
  * Rebuild for stretch from experimental.
  * d/control: Bump build-depends cmocka 1.1.1. Closes: #878357
  * d/control: changed python-gpme to python-gpg. Closes: #876984
  * d/control: Added acl attr dnsutils python-crypto krb5-user gdb libjson-perl
   - Added missing build mandatory, compaired to samba wiki.

The last line, might be to many but it does not hurt the build, i could not determin, 
that if one of these where missing, we where missing build options. 
For example the python-crypto which is needed for the AD DC trusts.

Other packages;
Talloc no changes.
Tevent no changes.
Tdb no changes.
Cmocka no changes.
Ldb no changes.
Nss-wrapper, bumped version cmocka to 1.1.1 
Resolv-wrapper, bumped version cmocka to 1.1.1 
Uid-wrapper, bumped version cmocka to 1.1.1 
Socket-wrapper, bumped version cmocka to 1.1.1 
Pam-wrapper, updated from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 ( updated from samba.org ) 

Upgrade from stretch with 4.5.12 to 4.7 was flawless, first test in a clean setup. 
Based on a "default" setup.  All install steps are in my howtos.

And you know, any comments, all appriciated. 


Best regards,
