Samba 3.4.0pre2 was uploaded to experimental. Besides begin the new upstream version, it includes a split of the samba-common package to "samba-common-bin" and "samba-common". The latter will be common to Samba4 and Samba3 packages while the former will be different for both flavours.

The goal of this is allowing both flavours of samba to coexist on the same machine.

Thanks to jelmer Vernooij for this work, which we talked about at SambaXP.

Samba 3.4.0 release candidate versions will come out soon. It is definitely sure that 3.4 will be in squeeze at some moment.

I also uploaded a new package for lenny (2:3.2.5-4lenny4) with a backported upstream fix that fixes a problem preventing Windows 2000 SP4 workstations to join Samba domains. You can epect it in the next lenny point release, which is due out soon.
