Public bug reported:

While rebasing the Ubuntu changes on the latest debian upload, and
checking the release notes[1] for samba 4.21.0, I noticed that the
ceph_new VFS module is missing.

This module is mentioned in the release notes, and is the future path of
the ceph integration. It should be part of the samba package to allow
users to try it out.

Since it's opt-in, there is no extra risk to include this module. Users
have to explicitly select it to use it, otherwise it just sits there on
disk.

There may be bug fixes that are needed for the module itself in the
future, however, maybe even during the plucky development cycle.


Here is a quick patch (just build tested):
