Title:
  Please raise Suggests for lib{pam,nss}-winbind to Recommends in trusty

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in samba source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  In a precise system install samba and libpam-winbind
  Upgrade to trusty
  Observe that libnss-winbind is not installed

  With the version of the package from -proposed, after the upgrade
  libnss-winbind will be install on the system.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The Debian packaging of Samba demoted the Recommends relationships to
  libpam-winbind and libnss-winbind to Suggests after one Debian
  release:

  samba (2:3.6.15-1) unstable; urgency=high

    * Team upload.
    * New upstream bugfix release. Closes: #707042
    * Update VCS URL's for new git repo.
    * The recommends for the separate libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind
      packages needed for the upgrade of winbind from squeeze to wheezy are no
      longer needed. Lowering them to suggests.
      Closes: #706434, #674853

  Unfortunately this isn't enough for the Ubuntu LTS cycle. libpam-
  winbind was a separate package in Precise, but libnss-winbind wasn't,
  and the release-upgrader therefore doesn't know to install it. Can
  those relationships be restored to Recommends in trusty-updates? (This
  delta doesn't need to be kept past Trusty.)

  We upgraded a server from Precise to Trusty this weekend and it was
  really confusing to track down why nobody could log in any more. I
  know it's been a while since the Trusty release, but given that
  Precise is around for two more years, I strongly suspect we're not the
  last people to upgrade a winbind-using Precise machine, and
  configuring samba correctly is confusing enough as it is. :)
