I'm not sure which services I was asked about (didn't think to write it down), but I run a host of services because I use my box for web development work. I had assumed that the question would be asked to all users and since it doesn't pass the "could my mother answer it" test, I filed a bug.
As you said, it's unfortunate if SAMBA triggers the question. If that can't be avoided, I suggest rewording it to be intelligible to non-techies. The following might be better:
Services to restart for login library (PAM) upgrade:
Most services that use the login library need to be restarted to use this new
version. Without a restart, login to the corresponding service may fail.
The services in the following space-separated list will be restarted.
Unless you are a system administrator and you have specific requirements it is safe to
continue with the default list.
Some other services such as xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, and xlockmore
cannot be restarted for you. You will not be able to authenticate to these
services until you restart them manually.
