Understood.

Let's try:

samba.combo-2.2.3a   The whole enchilada (or samba-complete)

samba-2.2.3a         Just the server (requires samba-common)
samba-client-2.2.3a  Just the client (requires samba-common)
samba-common-2.2.3a  Stuff common to both client and server
samba-swat-2.2.3a    Just SWAT (requires samba server)
