It looks like, at some point in the past, you deleted /etc/init.d/samba.
This is preventing samba's postinstall script from working, because it
expects to be able to call it.

If you reinstall samba_3.0.24-6etch5_i386.deb using "dpkg -i
--force-confmiss" the file should be recreated.  Note that this will
recreate any other conffiles that you might have deleted.
