I agree it'd be great since samba4 is huge in comparison (mostly because
of the added dependencies, otherwise it's more logically put together in
the target in the form of more shared libraries with common code instead
of the "really big" binaries samba 3.x has).
But i'm afraid upstream will throw the glove off on the 3.x series,
there's been talk about it in the mailing list and it's on
security-fixes only mode at the moment.
