I have this problem too.
I think it might be because I didn't realise I had samba installed
So I installed samba4 in Ubuntu 12.04
Realised that was the wrong thing to do
Purged samba4
I think that might have removed /var/log/samba
I restarted smbd
I now see /var/log/samba/log.smbd
Phew!

Can't reproduce this : the log directory is indeed created automatically
by the package.
From a fresh Intrepid install, I run
$ sudo apt-get install samba
$ ls -ld /var/log/samba
drwxr-x--- 3 root adm 4096 2009-01-19 09:13 /var/log/samba
I suppose something else prevented /var/log/samba from
