Title:
  Non-obsolete conffile /etc/network/if-up.d/samba missing due to wrong
  rm_conffile calls in samba package

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my system, the conffile /etc/network/if-up.d/samba is missing. This
  is because the samba package's maintainer scripts run rm_conffile for
  it:

  $ grep -F 'dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile' /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.*
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postinst:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postrm:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.preinst:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.prerm:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"

  But this conffile is not obsolete:

  $ grep -F /etc/network/if-up.d/samba /var/lib/dpkg/status
   /etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2c617f0d1baebc4ba4177087a7eefc57

  Indeed, looking inside the deb file, /etc/network/if-up.d/samba is
  still there.

  Actual behaviour:

  samba runs rm_conffile for non-obsolete conffile /etc/network/if-
  up.d/samba, so it is deleted on upgrade if the previously-installed
  version precedes 2:3.6.5-6.

  Expected behaviour:

  Maintainer scripts should not delete non-obsolete conffiles.
