* Initial release, packaging imported from samba source. (Closes: #571969)
* Rename binary package from smbfs to cifs-utils, but leave the "smbfs"
  tools under the smbfs name for later deprecation post-squeeze.
* Drop the dependency on netbase, which has no reason given in the changelog
  and doesn't appear to be needed.
* Adjust the language in debian/cifs-utils.NEWS to make clear the
  consequences of this change, and direct users to alternatives.
  Closes: #572691.
* umount.cifs (and by extension, smbumount) no longer exists upstream,
  because mount.cifs no longer permits non-root users to mount except by
  way of the standard /etc/fstab arguments.
