I prepared the 4.16 verson of the debian samba package set. It took quite
significant amount of resources to complete, the amount of changes is also
quite significant. See
https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/-/tree/mjt-4.16
for the result so far.  It also includes a relatively large change - it
builds ldb packages out of samba source too, instead of using separate
package.

This is pending some review, some testing, maybe bug triaging, and I'm
also waiting for the ongoing python transition in debian to settle down
before uploading it.

The plan is to upload it to experimental first.

Thanks,
