ATM current version of libraries (with architecture in names for python3)
are not widely used among distributions (only fedora 27 which is in devel phase)
But official samba 4.7.0 might be adopted quite fast due to samba-ad-dc with
MIT krb5. This is a reason why I would prefer to solve this till official
4.7.0. And I would prefer solution which is acceptable for most of
distributions. Downstream only patches are bad.
