You are asking the wrong list, the packages you installed have nothing
to do with Samba.

Although it has this in the main script:

echo -e "\n"`basename ${0}` "uses samba-tool to update DNS records in Samba 4's DNS"
echo "server when using INTERNAL DNS or BIND9 DLZ plugin."

I could never get my version of this script to update the internal dns
server.
