would make our life easier....after making our life slightly
temporarily difficult (separate source packages, make sure that things
properly move from one package to another, handle dependencies and
transitions...)...

With the same point of view, I'd vote for this to happen after 3.5, so
in 3.6 or whatever it's called.

In Debian/Ubuntu, we would also certainly take this opportunity to
finally rename the "smbfs" package to "cifs-utils" as there is now
quite some time since "smbfs" actually only provides CIFS utilities


For the record, here is what we have currently in the "smbfs" package:
