Hello, Franckly speaking, such suggestions, just like most enhancements and improvements, would better be made to upstream. The likelihood that it gets lost in Debian BTS is really high. The value added by one of the maitnainers of Samba in Debian to report your suggestion to upstream's BTS seems really low to me. So, well, may I redirect you to upstream Bugzilla : http://bugzilla.samba.org?
