The way Debian Enterprise has been described, it would provide you with
this option. But you may also want to move "apt-get install samba" and
the related session of tweaking samba's options to suit your network, to
the install phase. Imagine having, for example, a Kerberos/LDAP system
for authentication. Surely the option to install a file server with the
basic configuration for that out of the box would be appealing?

So what you've described is only one aspect of (how I see) Debian
Enterprise.
