I wish it was as simple as all that. We are only now in the final
stages of preparing a package for debian experiemental.
It is at git://git.debian.org/pkg-samba/samba in the samba_4.0 branch.
It does build with git-buildpackage. We don't store Debian or Ubuntu
packaging information in the Samba tree.
It would be very helpful if you could work with the Debian Samba
packaging team to help us finish the merged Samba 4.0 package.
