[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#726459: MIT instead of Heimdal in Debian

Hi,

Most of this was done in Samba 4.8, but we still build with Heimdal in Debian.

There are two reasons:
- missing features [1]
- fear to break things (especially on upgrade)

I hope that the feature gap will decrease in 4.9 and later, but we
probably won't migrate before buster+1 (i.e next-next stable)

Regards
