Bug#1013259: samba-libs: Possible policy violation

[Michael Stone]

If you can come up with a better solution than a strict dependency, great. But 
the current situation, in which samba upgrades randomly render systems unusable 
is, in my opinion, much much much worse than an overly strict dependency. 
Fundamentally the problem is that you're promising future compatibility but not 
providing that. One way or another samba-libs either needs to not suggest that 
linked binaries will work with future versions, or make sure that they do.
