I believe that the "lockdir" originally contained just oplock files
that could safely be removed across reboots.  But starting with the
2.2.x releases of Samba, more stuff is placed under the lockdir, to
the point where it's not really a "lockdir" anymore.

/var/db/samba sounds like a sane place to put it.  Do you want me to do
it?  I think we just need to change the SAMBA_LOCKDIR line in the samba
Makefile, bump the PKGREVISION, and emit a warning message if there are
any files found under /var/run/samba.
