[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#923946: samba: backport to stretch before freeze please

[Chris Zubrzycki]

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.5.16+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please provide backport packages for samba so we have the option of
using the newer features like timemachine support before the stretch
freeze. It would really help systems that aren't quite ready to switch
to testing/new stable yet. 

Thank you!
