A bit more context.
In trixie release cycle, samba-ad-dc package has been split
out of samba package, to provide AD-DC (Active Directory
Domain Controller) functionality on top of samba. This
new package depends on other samba components, including
winbind, and recommends libpam-winbind. And finally,
in order to avoid breaking existing setups, samba package
recommends samba-ad-dc (since this functionality was in
samba package before).
Now, on upgrade from bookworm to trixie, with apt recommends
enabled (which is the default), the system install new
recommended packages too, including samba-ad-dc and its
recommendations, which includes libpam-winbind.
Which produces that message.
Since the samba-ad-dc split-out is mentioned in the release
notes, I probably could've drop recommending it from samba
package. But I thought it's safer to keep the recommends.
Without knowing there's a bug in libpam-winbind with such
an effect.
