I was just trying to ask, supposed I submit proper patches that would allow changing the default behaviour as 
described, would these patches be acceptible? There's no sense in maintaining this stuff downstream, because 
of the need to enable any downstream consumer who wants to marry Samba with Tracker (distros, OEMs) to do so 
using the default packages.

Happy New Year!
