</I>><i> That's what i was asking
</I>><i> to create a new subpckage samba-helper-squid to stor ntlm_auth since
</I>><i> ntlm_auth is not linked with other lib it can stand by itself in a

</I>><i> LD
</I>
well, it's possible, but since there is no conditional suggests yet, i agree
with Buchan. if there was conditional suggests, that would be better...
