What's the problem?

You can simply update to 3.0.1, then run (as documented chapter 11.3.2 in
the HOWTO - Note: This is chapter 10.3.2 in the book):

	pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam

Of course, before doing so you need to edit smb.conf to have in [global]

	passdb backend = tdbsam smbpasswd

After migrating your users, just remove the smbpasswd entry in the above
line, and your new tdbsam will run just as did smbpasswd previously.

Am I missing some point you are trying to make?
