Building Debian packages is not as hard as some people might think. The
following instructions will allow you to build your own Samba Debian
-packages. These instructions, and the files in packaging/Debian/, should
-be current as of Samba 3.0beta3, and should allow you to build Debian
-packages for Debian unstable.

Notes regarding the packages required to build Samba Debian packages:
That's fine; the configure script won't detect CUPS support and the
resulting binaries won't support CUPS.

out of date. The best way to check what packages are required to
build the samba packages on Debian is to look for the Build-Depends:
field in the file debian/control.

It's important that you copy instead of symlink because the build
tools in Potato have a problem that prevents the build to work with
