This package has been present for quite some time (it was upload in June
2009) and has only recently broken because of API changes in Samba 4. 

I apologize for taking up your time with the FTBFS'es. I've tried to be
more careful about getting the Build-Depends right for the Samba 4 and
related packages recently. Unfortunately Samba 4 is still heavily in
development and API changes happen regularly in the libraries it depends
on. FWIW testing the builds in a experimental chroot is not sufficient
to catch these issues since there might be newer versions of
ldb/tdb/tevent present for my arch and thus they would build fine even
though their build-depends are too loose.

Alternatively, perhaps I should consider hosting these packages (ldb,
tevent, samba4, openchange, evolution-mapi, swat2, samba-gtk) in a
separate repository on samba.org for the time being instead of in
experimental.

Cheers,

Jelmer
