That was the last information I had. I thought something changed after
seeing Andrew comment in the bug report
(https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13760) and Louis
confirming that this should actually work.

Do you happen to know how to do the walk on Ubuntu? If I understand
this correctly, unless I want to compile myself (and I don't), I need
packages, and neither Ubuntu nor Louis provide packages for 4.8. Which
is why I'm thinking to upgrade by just joining a new DC based on Samba
4.9.4. Or wait for Louis to publish 4.10 as this should, in my
understanding, make it possible again to upgrade properly.
