Bug#231806: Bug #231806: Explain why we don't package findsmb, smbtar, etc. in samba?
No particular reason, AFAIK. If you decide to put together a samba-utils package, please make sure that everything you put in it is both useful, and functional on Debian. :) And secure. I would love an audit of backticks in that code... I think this may be why RH doesn't ship some of this, but it's never been formally brought up by anyone. Which might explain why noone actually integrated some of these in Debian. I personnally don't have the required skills to be able to tell whether this or that utility is useful, functional or, even more, secure enough. So, I'm afraid such samba-util package is likely to wait for a while until someone feels safe enough to assemble it and prooftest it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The bug submitter in #231806 suggest that we at least document why scripts in sources/scripts are *not* packaged in Debian packages. He mentions findsmb in the bug report, but this actually is similar for all utilities in source/scripts such as smbtar.
