I don't think this a good idea because the bug is not a specific samba 
problem - unless  /usr/bin/ucf is invoked by samba, only. From /usr/bin/ucf:

# This script attempts to provide conffile like handling for files not
# shipped in a Debian package, but handled by the postinst. Using this
# script, one may ship a bunch of default cofiguration files somewhere
# in /usr (/usr/share/<pkg> is a good location), and maintain files in
# /etc.
#
# The motivation for this script was to provide conffile like handling
# for start files for emacs lisp packages (for example,
# /etc/emacs21/site-stard.d/50psgml-init.el) ...
#
# This script is meant to be invoked by the packages install script

 I don't know where ucf comes from, but I don't think those responsible for 
the samba packages should do anything about it. It does not stem from their 
packet.

Moreover, I experienced it as a kubuntu-desktop problem, too, because samba is 
included in the kubuntu-desktop. That is, to get rid of the problem, you must 
remove kubuntu-desktop ... or change ucf. 

BUT, I wonder why all other kubuntu users apparently don't this problem. 
Perhaps they don't have this version of ucf on their box. Could this have 
something to do with that my system is upgraded from Dapper? Please, checkout 
if the bug is in your ucf! It is easily done..

You see this is not a samba problem.
