binding to all interfaces.

It shouldn't do that.

That does help but shouldn't be necessary for such an important package.
What if I was dealing with eth1 instead, then the line has to be edited.
Plus is the override file guaranteed to work through various upgrades?
If not then server stability is really in question.

Actually a pretty standard way to use Samba. And it's anything but "Low"
when your Samba box is a PDC or file/print server for many users.
Suggest this bug in Ubuntu finally get fixed.

Title:
  Samba non-functional on boot.

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Even though nmbd and smbd are running after boot, Samba service is unavailable.
  ===========================
  ps axf |grep mbd
  2467 ?        Ss     0:00 smbd -F
  2469 ?        S      0:00  \_ smbd -F
  2478 ?        Ss     0:00 nmbd -D
  ===========================

  Samba does not allow connections from other systems and nmap from
  another system does not list ports 139 and 445 as open.

  Restarting both nmbd and smbd after boot makes Samba service available and nmap now shows ports open:
  ===========================
  PORT     STATE SERVICE
  139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn
  445/tcp  open  microsoft-ds
  ===========================
