The issue here is that packages built against samba-libs get a
dependency on samba-libs >= version, and they really either need a
dependency on samba-libs == version or the samba-libs package needs to
be versioned (e.g., samba-libs2, samba-libs3, etc.) and conflict with
other versions, or samba-libs needs to Breaks: every dependent package
on every update, or somesuch. The current state of affairs results in
every change to the samba-libs libraries breaks other packages compiled
against them (namely sssd) until those packages are recompiled, but
there is nothing in the dependencies to enforce that.
