I cannot reproduce these errors when upgrading from samba 3.6 to 4.0 with
apt-get, so I guess this isn't really a problem. The upgrade seems to work
just fine.

Upgrading from samba to the samba-ad-dc isn't flawless (users aren't
converted, daemons need to be restarted manually), but that probably isn't a
blocker for an upload to experimental.
