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.
