Still getting an error when trying to install samba - it starts when 
configuring samba-common-bin. As you can see, it seems to want smb.conf 
but that doesn't exist until I run samba-tool... Even after removing the 
files you suggested, I'm still getting samba-tool picking up the 
provisioning defaults from my previous values.

After I do that, I can configure samba-common-bin but when I configure 
samba I get this:
