I believe that we should backport cifs.spnego to hardy, but it looks like
this needs to settle a bit upstream first - upstream is currently in the
process of renaming the binary from cifs.spnego to cifs.upcall, and I want
to see whether that name change takes hold before backporting so that we
don't cause ourselves additional upgrade issues.

I've only done quick'n'dirty testing so far, pulling the cifs.spnego binary
from the Debian experimental package for testing.  At this point, the best
way to test would be to grab the samba source package from intrepid and
rebuild it for hardy.  Test packages from me are going to be a couple of
weeks out yet.  It would be nice if someone could confirm in the meantime
that the kernel side works, though, both for previously-working cases and
for the upcall-specific stuff.
