[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#988197: patch for samba which fixes legacy printing support

[Mateusz Mikołajczyk]

Package: samba
Version: 4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u1

I was testing samba with an really old DOS client. it turns out that ever
since samba 3.2.0 there was an upstream change that broke this legacy
printing support. It was already merged upstream but the patch is super
tiny - a one liner:

https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/-/commit/47d79d7e7e406f7dd204ded7c72cfed3e0761ad5

I was wondering, would it be possible to add it as a patch to debian
buster? Currently I figured out a way to apply it - I simply build samba
.deb package from source (i.e. deb-src), manually apply the patch and then
install local version of the package. That's all great until I'm testing
this on x86 architecture (because the compilation is relatively quick),
however I intend to put everything to sbc board as a headless print server.
In order to avoid compilation on the sbc, I could create a virtual machine
and do a cross-compilation but it seems like a massive overkill just to
introduce a one-liner patch, plus it wouldn't survive any of the potential
upgrades

kind regards,
