Tridge,

I think the main different between Samba 3/4 and Apache 1/2
is that users will want to install Samba 3 & 4 at the same
time for the foreseeable future.  I predict that the adoption
path with be Samba 4 as a AD DC and Samba 3 as the file/print
server.  So this makes a huge difference in packaging.

Feel free to do what ever you want.  I'm just throwing
out my predictions.
