samba in Debian has "always" (at least for so many years that I can't
really remember unless digging in changelogs) been split into several
packages:

bubulle at mykerinos:~/src/debian/samba/samba-3.2.2/debian$ grep "^Package:" control
Package: samba
Package: samba-common
Package: samba-tools
Package: smbclient
Package: swat
Package: samba-doc
Package: samba-doc-pdf
Package: smbfs
Package: libpam-smbpass
Package: libsmbclient
Package: libsmbclient-dev
Package: winbind
Package: samba-dbg
Package: libwbclient0

I think that anyone can easily spot what is in what package..:-)
