yep. apparently the only solution we have for now is pinning.

its a bit of a pity since Devuan Jessie is adamantine: thanks to
Nextime's work on Amprolla (being maintained now by CenturionDan and
Parazyd) we managed to avoid any pinning, which can be perceived a bit
like ducktape... but in the specific case of samba there seems to be
no other solution. And a stable jessie should have a working samba
server... and we all want to have jessie stable out by now.

so we'll need to explain this pinning in the release. if there is
anything we have failed in our mission so far, this may be considered
the only thing that required ducktape.
