Received an mail from debian bug database that they fixed the socket 
path issue in 2.5.3-debian0-1.
Building it here at the moment and i see

  CFLAGS = -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -I./include -Iinclude -Ilib -Ilib/util 
-I.    -I./lib/replace -DVARDIR=\"/var/lib\" -DETCDIR=\"/etc\" 
-DCTDB_VARDIR=\"/var/lib/lib/ctdb\" -DLOGDIR=\"/var/log/ctdb\" 
-DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DSOCKPATH=\"/var/lib/run/ctdb/ctdbd.socket\" 
-DUSE_MMAP=1 -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat 
-Werror=format-security -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2  -I./lib/replace -Wall 
-Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align 
-Wwrite-strings  -Wno-format-zero-length -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fPIC
   LIBS = -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Llib  -lpopt -ltalloc -ltevent -ltdb

-DCTDB_VARDIR=/var/lib/lib/ctdb

so another minor issue to report.

Few days ago i also reported the debian samba team that they still use 
/tmp/ctdb.socket as the defaukt while ctdb now uses 
/var/lib/ctdb/ctdb.socket.
 From my point of view such things should just work on an distribution 
without the need to configure it for each package.
