Two important uploads: samba and pytrainer

This week-end, after a few week-ends more targeted on real life activities (country house fall works, 70km ultra run preparation and ultra run week-end), I spent most of Sunday working on two important uploads of packages I'm involved in.

So, as of Sunday evening, samba 3.6.1 is now in unstable. This is the first 3.6 version to land there, after earlier versions were in experimental while Steve Langasek was working on multi-arch support and dh7-like debian/rules transition in unstable, with 3.5 versions. Merging together changes in 3.5 and 3.6 branches has been a bit painful. I guess I had it right (thankfully, I merged 3.5 packaging changes from time to time to the 3.6 branch). If there are problems with 3.6 packages, anyway, you know what to do.

I also worked to package the new version of pytrainer, a sport activity logging tool. pytrainer is maintained by the "pkg-running" team, aka Noèl Köthe, Ralf Treinen and /me. This is the software I use for keeping track of all my running activities. We have a very good link with our upstream and I even recently brought several translation updates by involving Debian translators in the loop.

While working to integrate version 1.9.1 (we had 1.8.0 up to now in unstable), I also cleanedout things here orthereand I'mquite happy with the result. More testing will of course be appreciated.
