update on this: we are rolling out an "hot fix" on the amprolla in
production which will become operational tomorrow and should fix the
samba issue. there is a slight possibility that this momentarily
breaks samba for those running it on ARM architecture, which should be
fixed by a reinstall. If this glitch will occur, we consider it part
of the "beta" stage. This is really necessary to fix Samba for all
architectures.

the fix is this one, committed by Katolaz
https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/amprolla/merge_requests

its not beautiful, we know, but is not comprising a rewrite of
amprolla that would need much more time now. the only package
suffering from this situation is samba so we hardcode the exception.
