Samba upstream takes advantage of the best system facilities 
(libc/kernel) available at compile time.  Because Debian releases 
usually include a baseline kernel and an 'experimental' kernel, Eloy and 
I have introduced packaging code in unstable that prevents Samba from 
detecting facilities that it should not be compiled against.  The
2.0.7-4 upload backports these packaging mods to potato, both correcting
the problems with past alpha security NMUs and safeguarding against
the possibility of future problems with security NMUs in potato.

I have not heard from either of these porting teams yet, I imagine 
because of the holidays.  I can build a sparc binary on kubrick if 
necessary, but I'm not aware of any m68k machines I can get access to 
without again going through the porting team.  If anyone is in a 
position to do the binary NMU for m68k in time for 2.2r5, I'd certainly
appreciate it.
