The script /usr/share/samba/panic-action contains lines:

echo "If the problem persists, you are encouraged to first install the"
echo "samba-dbg package, which contains the debugging symbols for the Samba"
echo "binaries.  Then submit the provided information as a bug report to"

But since the 4.4.5+dfsg-3 version (see https://salsa.debian.org/samba-
team/samba/commit/f9bf7cd633a68d7c2e881801e90aa2af43fd72b7) the package
samba-dbg has been dropped and replaced with samba.dbgsym (see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819776). The message
printed by the script became misleading.

1. The debug package name should be updated.
2. Installing a -dbgsym package requires enabling of the additional ddeb 
repository, which is not trivial and requires some googling. Adding some links 
to https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages and/or 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages could be helpful.


PS I propose to limit the scope of this bug to the panic-action script and 
ignore the panic itself (it needs a separate bug report).
