Ohhh... well, there we go.
Thanks, missed that completely.

You should use apt-get purge samba to remove the configuration files.
apt-get remove samba keeps the configuration files around and apt-get
install won't install the configuration files if the package has just
been removed rather than purged.

Status in samba source package in Ubuntu: Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: samba
I renamed the files smb.conf and smbusers to smb.con_ and smbuse_ in the
/etc/samba directory. I did not touch the gdbcommands file. No other file
was in the directory.
Then I ran
sudo apt-get remove samba
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install samba
at the install, the following occurred:
[from screen]
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
python-zopeinterface python-twisted-core python-libuser python-pygame
python-pyogg python-pyvorbis python-editobj libsdl-ttf2.0-0
python-cerealizer libuser1 libcal3d12 python-soya python-tofu
libsdl-mixer1.2 libode0debian1 simgear0 plib1.8.4c2 python-twisted-bin
libsdl-image1.2
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Suggested packages:
openbsd-inetd inet-superserver smbldap-tools

in the /etc/samba the files I renamed have not been recreated while a new
file was added - smbpasswd. It was not there before.
All this was done to try to reset the samba installation to a virgin state.
I have solved the problem by renaming the backed up files back again.
