Obviously this is counter-productive. There are lots of packages one can
just "bump" without looking at them further. Samba is not one of them,
as is mplayer (just to mention a few).

We should instead introduce a comment into those PKGBUILDs right above
the pkgver= to prevent people from messing with them. Something like:

# MAINTAINER INFO: don't upgrade
or
# MAINTAINER INFO: version x.y.z, do not upgrade on x or y change

The latter case would cover all samba problem, as anyone who isn't the
primary maintainer will see that if x or y changes, he should not
upgrade it.
