Just to be clear, the sarge packaging is up to date and I still build
out packages, anything else is not.

And also I always used the fhs.patch (and I hate it :-) because my aim
was to make it possible for the samba packages to be installed on debian
systems without problems replacing the distribution packages.

That said I never found much acceptance of the FHS patch among the team
and that's why I never applied it to mainstream code.

Simo.
