And cups-client had been reported with #618545 that already mentions that Recommends is a too strong dependency, and sugests to use "Suggests". What's weird is that #618545 has been closed by and upload that "debian/control: Downgrade smbclient to Recommends."....while the suggestion was explicitely to drop the dependency to "Suggests". As a final consequence, I think this bug should be reassigned to cups-client and, again, ask for the dependency on smbclient to be downgraded to a "Suggests".
