Comment 4 for bug 722201

I was able to make some tweaks and get it running for Samba. Looks like these could also apply to upstream Debian.

The service command is in a different path:

This might actually be a problem with the samba init script, but smbd and nmbd seem to be controled by upstart and the scripts in /etc/init.d don't actually do anything. Maybe /etc/init.d/samba is being phased out and the services are managed directly, which seems to work here:
