Thanks for testing samba!

I've updated samba recently on the version-1.4.0 branch; but the problem
probably remains (I've only tested smbd and smbclient).  It's now at
version 4.15.3 and I nedded to add the python-cryptogaphy,
python-dnspython, python-markdown and python-pyasn1 as native inputs.
Based on your findings it probably should be moved to an input.

Trailing #t are no longer needed.

We shouldn't hard code Python versions in the paths as it'd be too prone
to break.  You could probably make good use of the recently introduced
search-input-directory procedure here :-).

Make sure to run 'guix lint', it'll probably suggest to add minimal-bash
as an input because of the use of wrap-program.

Otherwise it LGTM.  Could you try to rebase this patch on top of the
version-1.4.0 branch?  Otherwise, wait a few days and it should be
merged into master.

Thank you!
