Possibly nothing.  Problem might be that your distribution doesn't
have samba 3.0.5 yet.  Stable and Testing currently use older
versions.  Here's how you can check to see what version is current for
your dist:

apt-get update
apt-cache policy samba

I'm running Sarge (testing):

jrennie@desk:~$ apt-cache policy samba
samba:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.0.4-5
  Version Table:
     3.0.4-5 0
        500 http://debian.csail.mit.edu sarge/main Packages
