Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba4
The new samba4 packages do not function correctly; attempting to start
smbd via the init script appears to succeed, but no smbd daemons are
left running.
This is because the smbd binary is built with --localstatedir
effectively equivalent to /usr/var, which does not exist. As a result,
smbd terminates almost immediately after it begins execution.
This can be demonstrated by running `smbd --debug-stderr` as root:
# smbd --debug-stderr
smbd version 4.0.0alpha6-GIT-7e90cc1 started.

ERROR: can't open /usr/var/run/samba/smbd.pid: Error was No such file or
directory

Adding:
--localstatedir=/var
... to the configure incantation in debian/rules _should_ fix the
problem, I'm trying a test build now.
Cheers,
David
