[Bug 1281009] [NEW] add out of the box file sharing support (samba) for Ubuntu with GUI

[Sayantan Das]

Public bug reported:

File sharing between Ubuntu and  Windows PCs is a bit of a struggle. One
cannot get it up and running without searching online for a solution.
Also there is always a bit of commandline involved in the process.

It would be better, if the required GUI and the dependencies are
installed by default for Ubuntu . Even if  the dependencies are not
involved, during setup of file share, the system should prompt for the
required dependencies which can be installed from the Ubuntu Software
Center.

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: gnome-user-share (Ubuntu) => samba (Ubuntu)
