I was thinking about adding an 'obsoletes: samba-common' etc.  line to
the packaging.  If I understand my RPM correctly, that would mean that
rpm -U samba.org.package.rpm would do as expected - removing
samba-common etc on upgrade.

Could sombody please check this out and confirm - in particular what
happens when somebody attempts to 'upgrade' back to a later RedHat?
