(Get the code!)
Ok, after some discussion with Steve it appears this is unrelated to bug #462169, and its only by mistake that /etc/network/
It would appear that the currently supported way to bind samba to a specific interface is to also change /etc/init/smbd.conf to be
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=ethX)
So that you can guarantee that it does not start until that specific interface is up and ready.
Another option is to use
interfaces = ethX
instead of binding to a specific IP, so that smbd will just poll that inteface and "just work" when it does get an IP.
Either way, it seems that smbd is doing the right thing in your situation, but your configuration isn't supportable in the generic sense. So unless we're missing something, you probably just need to change /etc/init/smbd.conf to wait for the specific interface.
Closing as Invalid. Please feel free to re-open it by changing the status to New if you have more information, or open a new bug report if you feel that this one does not capture your problem appropriately. Thanks for the report as well!
