They adviced me to use Debian-packages and/or use Wheezy-Backports for more recent packages. I thought about if I have any (dis-/)advantages when using Debian Wheezy Backports for obtaining the samba4 packages in future. Are there any pro/cons ? Please explain to me and what you suggest me to use. Thanks a lot

Well, I can understand Debian not supporting the Sernet packages, they 
after all did not create them, but Sernet does support them, but whether 
you would need to pay for that support or not, I am not sure.
