IMO (and that's the one of many Debian contributors and
developers), you expect users to read the README.Debian
which documents all this. I just added few lines about it in it.

Now, if we have a separate xcp-storage-manager-nfs and
xcp-storage-manager-samba, then these wouldn't be mandatory
(eg: not hard dependencies), so it wouldn't change anything.

Best would be if xe-mount-iso-sr was checking if there is the
needed software installed by default, and was throwing a nice
error message telling what to do (eg: apt-get install) if the
relevant packages are missing.
