Thank you for the work Matt!

For the start I really want some comments from the samba folks about where/when these
binaries are supposed to be used.  I understand creating a new package might solve
the immediate issue, based on what we observe now. But without knowledge about how
it is supposed to work, it's difficult to verify if it's done correctly.

And once again, I already suggested moving these binaries to the already existing
samba-common-bin - this will definitely fix the issue too, without we waiting for
the debian NEW queue processing (there's a separate manual procedure in debian each
new binary package have to follow). I'm not convinced a separate binary package is
needed (based on what I observe), - yes, smbclient also uses samba-common-bin, but
so far it's not a problem, it seems.  I might be wrong though.

Thank you!
