It appears that the debian package is the spun off version from sf.net,
patched back to look like mainline Samba 3.0.5.  Perhaps it would be
better to have it built from the samba source package?  (The 1.0.6
release is from 2001).

We continue to improve tdb, and even skipping fancy new stuff like
transactions, there have been correctness and speed improvements of
late.
