For some reason it is common to misuse severity. A "package is unusable in
almost all configurations" or at least "unusable in default configuration"
isn't always equal to "package is unusable *for me*".

In this case, if dlz_backend is broken, it does not mean samba is entirely
broken. A particular configuration of it - sure.  For one, we run a samba
AD without dlz_backend and without bind to begin with, and it works just
fine..
