samba - May 2015 - Need another workaround for FSMO transfer problem

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_%28FSMO%29_roles#Transfering_a_FSMO_role

I ran into that while trying to rebuild my LXC's as Debian 8. The
proposed work arrounds assume you have access to a Windows Domain
controller in your domain, and I don't. Is there anything else I can do
to get all 7 Roles moved to my other domain controller so I can rebuild it?

Funny you should say that, I have a patch pending to show all 7 modes 
and to seize them, I am also working on the transfer, but this seems to 
be a lot more complex and is proving troublesome.

Can you link me to your patches so that I may rebuild my samba packages
with them applied or learn what the seizing process is so I can complete
it by editing the ldap tree with ldbedit? Perhaps I should check the
development mailing list.
