I don't think there is much we can do here. The samba4 package
descriptions already mention it is experimental. It's also already a
separate package, you don't get it magically when you upgrade, you
have to install it explicitly.

We're currently invoking the upgrade scripts to upgrade the s3
configuration to s4, though that script needs some extra work.

Cheers,

Jelmer
