[Samba] NIS to SAMBA4 Migration

I was successful in using Samba4 AD with Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) clients 
using winbind (in nsswitch and pam) and kerberos (pam-krb5)
the relevant changes (to the default config are):
/etc/krb5.conf
             proxiable = false
/etc/samba/smb.conf
     workgroup = YOUR_WORKGROUP
     realm = YOUR_REALM
     kerberos method = system keytab
     security = ads
     winbind enum groups = yes
     winbind enum users = yes
     idmap config *:backend = tdb
     idmap config *:range = 2000001-3000000
     idmap config YOUR_WORKGROUP:default = yes
     idmap config YOUR_WORKGROUP:backend = ad
     idmap config YOUR_WORKGROUP:range = 0-2000000
     idmap config YOUR_WORKGROUP:schema_mode = rfc2307
     winbind nss info = rfc2307
     winbind expand groups = 2
     winbind nested groups = yes
     winbind use default domain = yes
/etc/nsswitch.conf
     passwd:         files winbind
     group:          files winbind
pam-auth-update took care of pam configuration (I had to do only afs 
homedirs related changes, irrelevant if you don't use afs)
winbind pulls correctly all the information for the users and group 
which have been posixified.
However with the same config on debian squeeze or wheezy I receive only 
a part of the group memberships, and other nastiness (e.g. getent group 
and id for a group member give different results)

You shouldn't modify the sam.ldb directly while samba is running instead 
would suggest to use ldbmodify -H ldap://your-ad.server ....
