I just had a look and it's not that easy.
It seems that libapache2-authenntlm-perl includes all smb files of
libauthen-sbm-perl. That's why #432809!

libapache2-authenntlm-perl should depends on libauthen-smb-perl.
What do you think ?

I don't know why libapache2-authenntlm-perl includes smb files :/
