Well, we'll also need versioned libraries like CSWsamba4-libwclient0,

For that specific library, actually, it should not be needed, bad

Okay, I see what you mean, but I don't see it as a problem: mgar, pkgchk and friends make it all too easy to handle.

Well, since others (Debian, Fedora, ArchLinux) were all going for an
inplace upgrade, I considered that the obvious choice for an unstable
rolling catalog.

At least for Debian, that's not the case: they're planning on phasing out Samba 3, but it's not close at all. They only do it in experimental at this point. And for having worked with the Debian Samba maintainer, I can assure you the switch is being spread over years, I would say maybe even a decade, with both packages being available together in various forms during this time (experimental, backports, then .

But we now have two votes for using the 4 suffix, so be it. :)

In any case, there's nothing set in stone for 4 at this point, since it's not usable yet, so it looks like a safe point to start :-)
