[Samba] group mapping... Ldb file?

I just noticed, due to problems after migrating a server config and
restoring all my Persistent TDB Files, that the group mapping file is
named .ldb, not .tdb:
# find / -name \*.ldb
/var/lib/samba/group_mapping.ldb
# file /var/lib/samba/group_mapping.ldb
/var/lib/samba/group_mapping.ldb: TDB database version 6, little-endian
hash size 10000 bytes
This seems to be the case in both samba3-3.3.9-40.el4 and
samba3-3.4.7-42.el5 (SerNet builds). Is that deliberate? If so, it
would be helpful to mention it on
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#
tdbdocs
to warn people that backing up the .tdb files is not sufficient.
