Ok, I went through and removed everything I could find, including all the .debs.
 Then just for fun I tried installing the debs again and I got this:

Setting up samba4 (4.0.0~alpha14~bzr15953~ppa174+199~maverick) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/samba/setup/upgradeprovision", line 38, in <module>
    import samba.getopt as options
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/samba/getopt.py", line 30, in <module>
    from samba.hostconfig import Hostconfig
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/samba/hostconfig.py", line 22, in <module>
    from samdb import SamDB
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/samba/samdb.py", line 32, in <module>
    from samba.dcerpc import drsblobs, misc
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/samba/dcerpc/drsblobs.so:
undefined symbol: PyString_FromString_check_null


which was the original problem I was trying to solve.  I'm going to remove the
debs again and retry the build and see how that goes.
