[Samba] Samba AD DC migration and official packages

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Beware, read the change logs of debian.

Because of the low stable version of debian samba ( 3.2.x ) 
debian has change some settings so samba4 matches with samba 3.2.x of debian. 

My advice is get the packages for enterprisesamba.org and use 3.6.x from then 
with samba4, or the the applicance from enterprise samba. 

Greetz, 

Louis
