> This is the latest stable release of Samba 3.5.It has just been uploaded to Debian unstable. Thanks to the strict release policy of the Samba Team (only well identified bugfixes allowed in the stable version releases), this updated got pre-approved by the Debian release team. So, it means that even if Debian is now deeply frozen, in preparation for the release of Debian 6.0 "squeeze", samba 3.5.6 will be in that release. Not that many upstream software get such exceptions.
