That's fine, but then the bug is "GUI feature X is shipped by default
but doesn't work by default", not "smbclient not installed by default".
It could be fixed by adding smbclient as a dependency on the package
that ships feature X. We can convert this bug and reopen it, but please
provide details of feature X so that we can work on it on that basis.

That's another option. Please provide details of the problem itself,
rather than pre-supposing a solution.
Once you have provided these details, please change the bug status back
to New.
