I've cloned into your git but I'm finding some troubles:
first some libs and modules were missing (all modules which are in
dns-wip/bin/python/ directory):
ldb.so  samba  talloc.so  tdb.so  tevent.py  _tevent.so
I copied them in /usr/lib/python2.7/ and running samba_upgradedns I get:

[root at kdc02:/usr/local/samba/private]# samba_upgradedns --verbose

What's happening?
