Timur did submit a lot of patches upstream, so there should be less
needed.  The Samba Team strongly encourages those packaging Samba not
to maintain local patches, and if they must do so only after the
patches have been submitted and accepted upstream for master. 

This helps reduce the divergence and maintenance overhead in the long-
term.
