I have also installed each individual package listed in the wheezy Samba4 wiki page. Same result. I installed the samba4 test-suite. Also no success.

The 'samba4' source package has been removed in jessie, and has been merged
into the 'samba' source package. In wheezy the server side of the 'samba4' package
was removed because it was broken anyhow, and had unpatched security issues.

As far as I can tell 'samba4' (and its binary package samba4-common-bin) is not
present in any of the backports suites (as it should be). You probably want to
just install the 'samba' package from backports.
