Do you mean that you used `apt-get --build source`, or do you mean you
manually downloaded the 'tarball' and did everything manually?

If you installed a version 3 Debian package for Samba, perhaps the other
packages are insisting on version 2 (i.e. they virtually claim
incompatibility with version 3). I'm not sure of the proper way of
getting around this, but you can probably kludge it by modifying the
debian/changelog file so that it imitates the required version 2.
