The thing is, according to this Microsoft page here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-drsr/302391a9-f6e1-4c0c-a1b2-5604a42e982b

the 'repsTo' attribute is optional and, as far as I can find, is used to
replicate to another DC in the same site, so if you don't have another
DC in the same site, it should be empty (aka not there).

There are, as far as I can see, two types of replication, intersite and
intrasite, the first just replicates to DCs in the same site and the
other can replicate to any DC, no matter what site they are in.

However, I am nowhere near being expert on this, so if you feel that
Samba isn't doing what Windows does, then please feel free to open a
bug report on the subject.
