Status of the "bloated" packages in samba 3.2 (Debian bug #474543)

[Christian Perrier]

(Samba Team, Debian bug #474543 about 'bloating' of the code between
3.0 and 3.2 might be of some interest to you as it contains
suggestions to improve the size of compiled executables, meaning there
could be some room for improving things here or there. The whole bug
log may be seen at http://bugs.debian.org/474543)

Hello,

While wandering around samba bugs, I went back on #474543.

Looking at 3.2.5-2 packages, the table mentioned by Larry in his
original bug report becomes:

                    2:3.0.31-1      2:3.2.0-3   2:3.2.5-2
libtalloc1               0               84           80
libwbclient0             0              136          152
libsmbclient          2348             3876         3876
samba-common          7036            11116         9512
smbclient            12704            25628        18868
--------------------------------------------------------
total                22088            40840        32488

So, some improvement...but one should note that, looking at 3.3
packages in experimental:

libtalloc1               -
libwbclient0           160
libsmbclient          4268
samba-common         11456
smbclient            24736
--------------------------
total                40620

....the bloat seems to come back...
