No, they come with the samba package. However, /etc/init.d/samba is a
configuration file, and dpkg considers "missing" to be a valid state for
a configuration file and will preserve it unless told otherwise. You
should have the package in
/var/cache/apt/archives/samba_2.2.3a-6_i386.deb, so try the following:

  dpkg --force-confmiss -i /var/cache/apt/archives/samba_2.2.3a-6_i386.deb

Cheers,
