The Debian packaging of Samba demoted the Recommends relationships to
libpam-winbind and libnss-winbind to Suggests after one Debian release:
samba (2:3.6.15-1) unstable; urgency=high
- * Team upload.
- * New upstream bugfix release. Closes: #707042
- * Update VCS URL's for new git repo.
- * The recommends for the separate libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind
- packages needed for the upgrade of winbind from squeeze to wheezy are no
- longer needed. Lowering them to suggests.
- Closes: #706434, #674853

Unfortunately this isn't enough for the Ubuntu LTS cycle. libpam-winbind
was a separate package in Precise, but libnss-winbind wasn't, and the
release-upgrader therefore doesn't know to install it. Can those
relationships be restored to Recommends in trusty-updates? (This delta
doesn't need to be kept past Trusty.)
We upgraded a server from Precise to Trusty this weekend and it was
really confusing to track down why nobody could log in any more. I know
it's been a while since the Trusty release, but given that Precise is
around for two more years, I strongly suspect we're not the last people
to upgrade a winbind-using Precise machine, and configuring samba
correctly is confusing enough as it is. :)
