As Thierry and Anders pointed out above, this might be causing breakage.
See bug #605326, for example.

Considering we are installing recommended package by default, this ought
to be reviewed.  I think winbind should be made a Suggests of wine
instead, since the NTLM authentication feature is not something most
users will actually need or want.  That's what Debian does too.

I do not see how this could be fixed in samba.  Spinning ntlm_auth in
its own package would not help, as it would (likely) depends in turn on
winbind.  I am retargeting this bug to wine again (sorry, Scott) so it
can get some discussion.

** Package changed: samba (Ubuntu) => wine (Ubuntu)
