Bug Description

The unattended autosync from debian brought a new cifs-utils version containing:
cifs-utils (2:5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * New upstream release. Closes: #628880.
     - mount.cifs: Use original device string all the way. Closes: #620818.
  * Install cifs.idmap upcall binary and manpage
    - Add libwbclient-dev to Build-Depends
    - Add winbind to Recommends
 * Install cifscreds binary

It such now brings winbind, which is quite an important package size-wise, and the CD add some extra size between the 27 and 28 of july.

Should this functionality be in a separate package (not installed by default) recommending winbind or should we just downgrade the recommends in suggests? (or should we keep it and cope with the extra size needed?)

Jelmer indicated on IRC that this should be fine to drop to a suggests; someone just needs to do the upload.

This bug was fixed in the package cifs-utils - 2:5.0-1ubuntu1

---------------
cifs-utils (2:5.0-1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - make cifs-utils suggests winbind instead of recommending it. We don't need
      it on the CD and it's taking multiple MB (LP: #817962)
