Quoting Jeff Layton (jlayton at redhat.com):

I should add that Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) just disabled smbfs as
of 3.0.27a-2 (now in testing, which is "lenny", the next Debian
release).

We (indeed essentially Steve Langasek) turned mount.smbfs into a
wrapper for mount.cifs.

This triggerred a few bug reports but nothing dramatic as of now.
