Out of curiosity I ran "apt remove samba" on Ubuntu 16.04.1LTS and
removal adds "winbind" packages "will be REMOVED" even though I don't
want to remove winbind. So, " . . . because distros have different
package managers and you can run into dependencies problems." yes, I
understand you reluctance to adding "uninstall" instructions in the
wiki. IMHO, this is actually a distro related issue. 

Marc, you probably already know this but, I just thought everyone should
be aware. I have also seen different types of distro related issues,
like this, in CentOS and Fedora experiments where package manager is
going to un-install and/or install some package due to dependency
requirements.
