[Samba] Samba LDAP and Ubuntu

That sounds like the following bug we fixed in the 2:3.0.30-3 Debian
package:

  * add a soft dependency on slapd in init script to allow
    proper operation when dependency-based boot sequence is enabled.
    Thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen for reporting and providing a patch
    Closes: #478800

In Debian, that bug hurts only people who use dependency-based init
(which is not the default for lenny...we'll switch to that for
post-lenny releases).

However, maybe Ubuntu already activated that. In such case, I'd bet
that all Ubuntu releases are affected (including Hardy).

The right fix is:
