I'd *love* to "fix packaging". But I've no way to do this now, and
this is exactly an attempt to do that.

If libndr isn't public, other software should not be using it I guess.
But it does.

It's a bit difficult to explain, there are quite some Debian specifics
involved which are different on Redhat.  But think about this context:
providing a more recent samba packages to older Redhat releases (this
is the context we're talking about right now). Other packages in there
should be rebuilt. I for one can't provide backports of sssd or
evolution-mapi or whatnot just because of a no-op, absolutely unwarranted
soname bump...

Hwell...
