Bug description:
  Feature Freeze Exception justification:

   * samba currently has no build-dependency on libcephfs-dev. Thus, at
  build-time, no cephfs support is detected and ceph support is not
  built into samba. However, we ship man-pages that refer to that
  support, and there is nothing in debian/changelog indicating this is
  an intentional omission.

   * libcephfs-dev is in main as is libcephfs1 (the runtime dependency
  that results for samba), so no component mismatches should exist.

   * Adding the build-dependency has been tested locally to generate the
  correct .so file as mentioned in this bug.

   * Users expecting to use ceph with samba are currently surprised and
  possibly confused by the mixed support, including a man-page that
  states configuration optoins that will result in errors from samba.

   * This is not a feature change, but a feature introduction, so I do
  not believe any regressions are possible, except if ceph support were
  somehow buggy. But if that is the case, we would currently never find
  this out or fix it ... This is also an issue for Debian and I plan on
  submitting the same change so it should not introduce any delta.

  Man page for vfs_ceph exists (/usr/share/man/man8/vfs_ceph.8.gz) but the module itself is missing. Should be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/ceph.so
  Defining a share using "vfs objects = ceph" results in
  "Error loading module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/ceph.so': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/ceph.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
