On a more serious note, I haven't reviewed Andreas's patch (yet),
but the Samba repo has customarily hosted auxiliary files for popular
operating systems and distros (as Andrew stated, the packaging/ directory).

If it helps vendors deploy Samba correctly on the system of their choice,
I see no harm in continuing to include such helper files in our repo.

Just my 2cents :-).
