Hi !

(Debian bug URL
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820963 )

Yes, a full fix won't be easy because smbclient output has changed
since samba 4.2.

For example in 4.1.x the following code was present in
samba/source3/client/clitar.c in do_atar(): 

  if (tar_noisy) {
   DEBUG(0, ("%12.0f (%7.1f kb/s) %s\n",
     (double)finfo.size, finfo.size / MAX(0.001, (1.024*this_time)),
     finfo.name));
  }

clitar.c has been rewritten in 4.2+...
