Andrew, We (Mike Ray and I) started with the samba4_4.0.3+dfsg1-0.1.debian.tar.gz from Debian Experimental here (probably more outdated than the git repo you linked): http://packages.debian.org/experimental/samba4 We then updated debian/rules - removing things that appeared to no longer be necessary and working to get the package to build, install, and run successfully.
