It is the version number of the Samba _package_.

Maybe, this package is historical grown. My first package was with the 
internal Samba version 2.2.3a.

I'm the OP :-)
I'm building a package with Samba 4.3.1 for eisfair at this time - not 
in the wild yet.

I could imagine that the problem is the VIRT-Kernel on testeis. The 
build kernel is not VIRT. Changing against PAE:

testeis # rm /run/lock/samba/gencache_notrans.tdb.samba.bak
testeis # /usr/bin/tdbbackup -s .samba.bak 
/run/lock/samba/gencache_notrans.tdb
tdb_mutex_open_ok[/run/lock/samba/gencache_notrans.tdb]: Can use mutexes 
only with MUTEX_LOCKING or NOLOCK
Failed to open /run/lock/samba/gencache_notrans.tdb
testeis # uname -a
Linux testeis 3.2.71-eisfair-1-PAE #1 SMP Tue Oct 13 22:58:21 CEST 2015 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
testeis # /usr/bin/tdbbackup -l -s .samba.bak 
/run/lock/samba/gencache_notrans.tdb

Then maybe the slightly older kernel version on the build host:
deveisneu # uname -a
Linux deveisneu 3.2.67-eisfair-1-PAE #1 SMP Tue May 19 19:30:40 CEST 
2015 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

make -j2

sambaver=samba-4.3.1
make DESTDIR=/tmp/$sambaver install
for a in /tmp/$sambaver/usr/bin/* \
          /tmp/$sambaver/usr/lib/samba/* \
          /tmp/$sambaver/usr/lib/samba/security/* \
          /tmp/$sambaver/usr/lib/samba/vfs/* \
          /tmp/$sambaver/usr/sbin/*
do
     strip -R .comment -R .note $a
done

And then I'm packing it with the rest (scripts etc).
