You can specify where to put things with the configure options, but if
you put everything into /usr/local/samba (the configure default), then
Samba will not interfere with anything installed elsewhere. 
You also get the bonus of the samba wiki paths being the same as yours.

It is also very easy to upgrade in future, a little bit more work, but
just as easy as 'apt-get update'

I wonder if Louis's Debian packages could be installed on Ubuntu ?
