You don't need mount.cifs to actually mount them. (so I'm not sure it is actually worth the "pain" of trying to get a debian package to compile it stand alone.)

Code:
mount -tcifs //servername/serverpath/ /local/mount/point -ouser=user,pass=pass,ip=ip address of server
Is the command to make it work using the mount command. ;-)

The keys to making this work is the "-tcifs" and the ip=<server ip address>.

A developer could probably write a bash script that would work as a replacement mount.cifs faster than getting mount.cifs to compile properly on the builderbots.
