[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#986867: cifs-utils: Please Recommend keyutils for DFS support

[Daniel Lewart]

Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:6.11-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Debian Samba Team,

#822841 - cifs-utils should suggests winbind instead of recommending it:
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=822841
This was closed by "Move keyutils and winbind from Recommends to Suggests".

I believe that un-Recommending keyutils caused these bugs:
  #801624 - cifs-utils: mounting Windows DFS shares fail
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801624
  #967972 - cifs-utils: fails to mount filesystem when keyutils is not installed
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=967972

linux/Documentation/admin-guide/cifs/usage.rst says:
    "To use cifs Kerberos and DFS support, the Linux keyutils
     package should be installed"

Therefore, please move keyutils from Suggests back to Recommends.
Untested patch below.

Thank you!
Daniel Lewart
