Meanwhile, for implementing this particular fix in-distro, it may be cleanest to package wsdd as its own discrete source package, and have Samba depend on it as Recommends. While it is just a single python script, it has several python dependencies, which may be easier to manage separately from samba itself, and the project appears to be actively maintained at present (https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/) so we may expect to see updates to the script.

wsdd is covered under the MIT License, so since this issue likely affects Debian as well, it may be worth submitting the package to Debian. The issue this fixes seems to be fairly widespread so there could be broad interest in this solution.
