I have read the samba 3 docs, and this page[1] says that there is not 
need to preserve winds.dat because this file is regenerated when Samba 
is restarted. I deleted the file and the migration finished ok.

it is ok to delete this file?

But If the file is not neccesary, why do "samba-tool classicupgrade" 
check this file and complaint when it finds inconsistences?
