Hi, it will probably be easier to use the samba packages from debian 
backports, this will get you samba 4.1.11 and you will be able to update 
it via standard debian tools.

add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:

# wheezy-backports
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main

Change 'uk' to your country

Run 'apt-get update'

now install required packages
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install samba attr krb5-config krb5-user 
dnsutils winbind libpam-winbind libpam-krb5 libnss-winbind libsmbclient 
smbclient

This should update your installed samba packages and cure your problem, 
trying to remove the installed samb3 packages may try to remove more 
than you want to.
