[Bug 1362963] Re: findsmb command is missing from smbclient package

I can confirm that findsmb is also missing from the package smbclient 2:4.1.13+dfsg-4ubuntu3  in Kubuntu 15.04 (Kubuntu Vivid).
After installing that package and reinstalling it (also reinstalling samba) the findsmb script does not exist anywhere.

For a workaround, I have taken a copy of the findsmb script from an
older installation (Mint 14 "Nadia"/Ubuntu Quantal) and that copy runs
and seems to do what it is supposed to do - or at the very least it is
listing the systems that I was expecting to respond to it).

Title:
  findsmb command is missing from smbclient package

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Note: I cannot report this using apport-bug as that command is
  currently failing on this system.]

  The findsmb command is missing from the package:  smbclient 2.4.1.6
  +dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3

  Note that the manual page is included, but the command itself is
  missing.

  There is also some confusing regarding the documentation.  Here is the
  manpage for the trusty distribution:

      http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/findsmb.1.html

  Notice that it indicates that this command is included in  smbclient_4.1.3+dfsg-2ubuntu5_i386
  Is this correct notation?  Are the 64-bit packages not documented, or is this another bug?

  The findsmb command is supposed to be a perl script so it should really be package independent.
  Can the file be downloaded from some location?
