Add "Recommends: keyutils" to smbfs

[Daniel Richard G.]

Binary package hint: smbfs

Looking at smbfs 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 in Intrepid.

Samba's CIFS kernel module (as invoked via mount.cifs(8), in smbfs) makes use of the kernel's new request-key infrastructure, but there is nothing at the package-description level to indicate the critical relationship with the keyutils package.

Given that /sbin/request-key et al. is required in order for certain shares to work at all (notably, those with DFS components, which at a minimum need the dns_resolver upcall key), I think a strong (if not absolute) dependency should be noted.

That makes sense.
