Just a comment regarding the packaging of Samba4 and OpenChange on Debian, and 
I guess Ubuntu.
There are already Debian packages for both of these in sid and experimental:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/samba4
http://packages.debian.org/sid/openchangeserver

It *may* be possible to backport these to Squeeze, I don't know about Lenny.
I have had an initial look at the packages and using the squeeze-backports of 
debhelper it might be a simple job of installing
all the build dependencies (dpkg-checkbuilddeps) and building 
(dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc).

It should, theoretically, also be possible (simple?) to build versions that go 
into /opt or /usr/local. If then the sogo 2.0
packages were built to look for libraries in these locations before the 
defaults then you could have Samba 3 and 4 along side
each other if it is only the libraries that are required from Samba4 and no 
daemons.

I do a little bit of backporting, but am not a Debian packaging expert.
If I get some time, I will take a clean Squeeze install and try to backport 
these.

Chris
