If you want 4.6.3 or 4.5.8. 
Have a look here. http://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/

Samba packages 4.5.8 for Jessie and Wheezy package 4.6.3 are available through Repo for Jessie. 
http://apt.van-belle.nl/ 

I was buzy with new packages, but due to the notice yesterday i stopped that. 
I'll update to new version soon after the new samba release.

Best part ;-)
