[Bug 302004] Re: Please add a samba-dev package

[Soren Hansen]

My primary concern is this:

Since the API isn't published nor stable you'd have to have a strict
versioned dependency on the samba version against which your package is
built. This is not a problem in itself, but it becomes one if someone
has your package installed, and we publish a security update for Samba.
Given the strict versioned dependency, samba will not be upgraded until
your package has been rebuilt against the new samba version and
subsequently published (since staying with an old samba version is
considered more acceptable to apt than removing your package).

Do you have thoughts on how to counter this?
