samba - Jun 2023 - What's the substitution of 'samba-tool domain provision' in v4.17.5

Makes sense.
Can I use Ubuntu 22.04 as an alternative to Debian ?  Does Ubuntu have a
DEB package in the official repository?
It's pretty bothersome if I build packages from source codes on Ubuntu,
because they're so many packages and dependencies that need to be resolved.

Yes you can use the Ubuntu 22.04 packages if you really must, but this 
will only get you Samba 4.15.3
On the other hand, Using Samba from backports on Debian bullseye will 
get you 4.17.8 and is, in my opinion, easier to use.

Your decision.

Good to hear. Thank you guys for your prompt response. Have a good day.
