Have you tried just building the 4.0.3 package from experimental, without any
additional changes? Does that work?
The ldb error in particular seems odd - do you have libldb1 and the other build
dependencies installed?
It is normal that there are some errors from dpkg-shlibdeps, it doesn't deal
with internal libraries found using rpath very well.

There should be no need to use --bundled-libraries. Debian makes sure that the
dependencies for Samba would always be present, while also giving you access to
(security) updates for them. --bundled-libraries also covers only a small
number of the libraries that Samba4 links with.
The reason --bundled-libraries exists is that on some platforms it is a hassle
to manually install all the libraries that Samba uses before actually building
Samba itself. On Debian, this is not necessary since the libraries are already
packaged.
