[Bug 1457753] Re: smbclient not installed by default 15.04 and newer

[Gregor]

Then again, if we wanted Debian, we would just install Debian.

The problem as i understand it was that Ubutnu is offering this feature
via GUI, but a component needed for the GUi in Ubuntu to work is
missing. Software is therefore not acting as expected or as indicated
that it is supposed to act. Therefore in my opinion it is a bug.

The solution to that (and to keep it in line with Debian) would be to
offer the install of missing package when the user would try to perform
the desired action.
