If you want to know that, go read : https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2013-October/176380.html 
(samba 4, joining a windows 2008R2 domain as DC. ubuntu 12.04) based on sernet packages. 

you can mix ubuntu/debian with sernet non-sernet and compiled samba without any problem. 

for wheezy, use the debian-backports samba  ( or sernet-samba ) 
for ubuntu, use the sernet-samba or some ppa for samba4 
Or 
use compiled samba, but you better start reading above, it refers also to the wiki. 

when ">> All he needs to do is join the domain." 
then you dont need sernet-samba-ad but sernet-samba-winbind ( and sernet-samba-common ) 
so, samba4 DC => sernet-samba-ad  ( or debian ; samba from backports ) 
just domain member => sernet-samba-winbind  ( debian; samba-winbind ) 
and then join the domain. Thats it. 

My servers are sernet-samba AND samba from backports 
( and own compiled from debian sid to wheezy ) 
all work ok. 

Best regards, 

Louis
