You have a couple of choices, do a search on this list, the Debian 
maintainer is providing a repo with later Samba versions, this is within 
the last few weeks, so it shouldn't be hard to find, or knowing Michael, 
he will point you to it ;-)

Your other choice is to use Samba from Debian backports, this will get 
you Samba 4.17.3
