>Description:
Many directories previously named "samba" are now "samba34" which is not mentioned anywhere and creates various problems if someone upgraded from previous (<=3.3.x) versions.
For example:
- /usr/local/etc/samba34 breaks authentication (old db was in ../samba)
- /var/spool/samba34 break printing (old smb.conf referenced ../samba)

Since there is no way to install multiple versions of samba3.X and it will cause similar headaches in future updates (35, 36, ...), I see no need for such renaming

If for some reason you still want to keep it that way then please document upgrade process in UPDATING or pkg-message.
