Yes, this is exactly that should be done and it is done.
What I mean is that currently, we use this >>cur_ver,<next_ver
expression for the ldb version, I thought maybe it is better now
to use the exact =cur_ver_deb_rev instead of a range.
My usage of "binary:version" was meant to be referring to the
*ldb* version, not to samba version, - it was just inaccurate
attempt at shortening what I'm writing.

This is not enough, I learned this the hard way, see

https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/-/commit/e43929f385573ff30dd4fbd73b50ab0b9786288c

I merged ldb package creation into the samba package already.
And I faced and solved lots of other probs while at it :)

Let's wait for his answer :)

Thank you!
