Heck. This reminds me that.. I didn't provide sssd backport for bullseye,
but sssd from bullseye will NOT work with samba from bullseye-backports.

This is because samba changed the path for ldb modules, and sssd-provided
module can't be found after samba upgrade.

This can be fixed in samba though.
Providing a symlink from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/ldb/ pointing to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ldb/plugins/.. - I don't remember off-hand where
sssd puts its plugin at.

But the new libldb2 Breaks sssd in bullseye, so it can't be fixed after
install: you can't install it to begin with.

I completely forgot about this.

It looks like a new samba bpo release is in order.
