May I add something else for the wiki, just because I found it right now?

preparing a new Samba-DC on Debian-13.3

tried to follow

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distribution-specific_Package_Installation#Debian/Ubuntu

In my opinion python3-samba is missing, otherwise the binary samba-tool 
isn't installed, right?

Maybe I missed some step in 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_an_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller 
but I can't find that package mentioned anywhere.

I will see if I find something else along the way ;-)
