IMHO the severity of the problem should justify an immediate update of
the package anyway.
Why severe? For several reasons, each one alone should justify a fix:
1: The manual is lagging at least two versions behind the software.
2: The pdf formatting is broken: important config-lines are truncated.
3: Several steps are missing, that are absolutely required to get the
samba server running as domain controller (see the other bug reports for
samba).
