This package has the same version in potato and in sid, whereas Samba itself has gone through two major revisions (2.0 -> 2.2 -> 3.0) in this time. Upstream development for this application seems to be dead. Although it can read Samba 3.0 config files, its outdated list of available config options may do more harm than good for someone trying to create a fresh Samba 3.0 config. Indeed, the software seems to provide little advantage over a GUI text editor, and has several disadvantages compared to SWAT. Don't adopt this package unless you intend to take on upstream's job and get the program in shape for Samba 3.0. If no one adopts, I will either file for removal or turn this into a dummy package for launching SWAT before sarge's release. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
