[Samba] oplocks and samba 2.2.7

[John H Terpstra]

JP,

(Thanks to Jerry Carter for pointing out the following omission in my last
reply to you)

You should also be aware that two (2) samba team members actively maintain
Samba packaging. You will find it under samba-2.2.7a/packaging/Debian, and
you can use this to build a Debian comliant samba package.
