samba - Sep 2012 - Reverse Lookup Zone

I've compiled, installed, and set up the first Samba release candidate
three times this last week, and every time I've noticed that the provision
step is not creating a Reverse Lookup Zone. It creates a Forward Lookup
Zone with all the A records of the test clients that I join, but there's no
Reverse Lookup Zone for the client's PTR records. When I was using the BIND
DNS server,I had an operational Reverse Lookup Zone. Is this how it should
be?

Provision won't create the reverse zone, as there really isn't anything
it can do - it doesn't know the full scope of your network, nor does it
know if it even should.

This applies to both solutions - any reverse zone you had before was not
created by provision.  You should be able to add a reverse zone with the
DNS management tools, but I don't know if this has been explored
particularly much yet.
