These bugs should be, in my personal opinion, one of the first targets
for us.

They virtually forbid running two concurrent instances of samba on the
same machine which is a feature often needed on some kind of
production machines.

As a consequence, the only choice of people who want to run such
production machines is by recompiling their own packages *without* the
fhs.patch applied....and thus no more benefit from the status of
"official" Debian packages.

Steve mentioned in the last comments that reworking the fhs.patch to
make it not break the "lock dir" and "private dir" options needs
someone with a good understanding of involved issues. It also requires
a good understanding of the code, by the way....

So, please please, if someone has some time to give to samba package
enhancement, work on these bugs, they deserve it.

And, no, as far as I've seen, I just can't. My coding skills are way
too low and I would proceed by analogy and rough guessing, which is
not a very good idea, here.
