[Samba] Van Belle Packages & Samba 4.15

[Kris Lou]

Previously, I needed to downgrade Louis samba packages to Buster's
defaults, which would then be upgraded to 4.13 by the dist-upgrade to
Bullseye.  This was on a Domain Member, so didn't touch my DC's or have to
worry about DB format stepping (I hope).

apt install samba=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3 python-samba
samba-common=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3 samba-common-bin=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3
libldb1 samba-libs=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3 winbind=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3
libwbclient0=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3 python-tdb libtdb1=1.3.16-2+b1
samba-vfs-modules=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3
libnss-winbind=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3 libpam-winbind=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3
smbclient=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3 libsmbclient=2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u3
python3-tdb=1.3.16-2+b1 libtalloc2=2.1.14-2 libtevent0=0.9.37-1
tdb-tools=1.3.16-2+b1

I'm done with this now, but is there a better way to do this -- when the
installed package (Louis Buster-4.15) is a newer version than the target OS
upgrade's packages (Bullseye 4.13)?
