Andrew,

We (Mike Ray and I) started with the samba4_4.0.3+dfsg1-0.1.debian.tar.gz from 
Debian Experimental here (probably more outdated than the git repo you linked):
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/samba4

We then updated debian/rules - removing things that appeared to no longer be 
necessary and working to get the package to build, install, and run successfully.

Thanks,

Andrew
