Some comments on a number of those:

I committed a fix for those.

Don't spend time on these. Some people think experimenting with :all
dependencies should happen in unstable instead of experimental, and don't mind
breaking stuff on the way. This error will likely go away in the next version
of lintian (#711988).

I removed the systemd service files for now, because they don't work anyway.
The init scripts should work just fine with systemd. Proper systemd support
can be added later.

Lintian suggests that this is actually a bug in debhelper.

This one is an actual issue (symbols from a private library are listed in the
symbols file).

One of the advantages of uploading to experimental, is that the piuparts tests
will be run automatically.

I merged everything into samba_4.0. We should just continue development there.
