Ugly hack! This undermines the "automatability" of the whole process,
and next time someone will forget to repeat this hack and people will
ask "where did kio_smb go" -- if Samba needs to be there when
generating the package, the right thing to do is to just add Samba to
the BuildDependencies. (Insert obligatory yes-I-know use-flags
optional-deps blah-blah here :) )
