kcmsambaconf removed from kdenetwork-filesharing

[Del]

I just realised that System Settings no longer has the kcmsambaconf module for 
configuring Samba. The only trace I found of the decision was a Debian bug 
report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691634

It seems it was removed due to lack of developer efforts, but since NFS is 
somehow also part of the discussion it is confusing. Personally I consider 
Samba configuration (in system settings) a critical part of KDE, even among the 
top ten modules for system settings. I have no problem editing smb.conf 
manually, but a large part of our potential user base does. It is also 
extremely unfortunate to remove functionality that works, which users have 
come to rely on. As far as I can see there are few bugs reported on this code 
after it's major revision a while back, so I find the removal rather puzzling. 
In any case, I would like to do whatever is necessary to get this code back 
in.

Hence, I am grateful for any information that can help me see what is needed. 
There apparently was a discussion on this, is this discussion available 
somewhere? Maybe some of the participants in that discussion can share exactly 
what they see as necessary for kcmsambaconf to be included again, or maybe I 
have misunderstood something here?

Thanks,
Del
