** Summary changed:

- samba-vfs-modules misses ceph vfs module
+ [FFe] samba-vfs-modules misses ceph vfs module

** Description changed:

+ Feature Freeze Exception justification:
+ 
+  * samba currently has no build-dependency on libcephfs-dev. Thus, at
+ build-time, no cephfs support is detected and ceph support is not built
+ into samba. However, we ship man-pages that refer to that support, and
+ there is nothing in debian/changelog indicating this is an intentional
+ omission.
+ 
+  * libcephfs-dev is in main as is libcephfs1 (the runtime dependency
+ that results for samba), so no component mismatches should exist.
+ 
+  * Adding the build-dependency has been tested locally to generate the
+ correct .so file as mentioned in this bug.
+ 
+  * Users expecting to use ceph with samba are currently surprised and
+ possibly confused by the mixed support, including a man-page that states
+ configuration optoins that will result in errors from samba.
+ 
+  * This is not a feature change, but a feature introduction, so I do not
+ believe any regressions are possible, except if ceph support were
+ somehow buggy. But if that is the case, we would currently never find
+ this out or fix it ... This is also an issue for Debian and I plan on
+ submitting the same change so it should not introduce any delta.

  Man page for vfs_ceph exists (/usr/share/man/man8/vfs_ceph.8.gz) but the 
module itself is missing. Should be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/ceph.so
