OK, all valid points, rather than going down the 'compile samba 
yourself' path, I would wait, what I am sure will be a short time, until 
Sernet releases a 4.3.0 set of packages. These should just replace your 
debian packages, but If there are any problems, I don't think they will 
be hard to fix.
