I don't know why this file is being installed in later versions.  The
reason it's not installed for lucid is seen here:

samba (2:3.4.5~dfsg-2ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Switch smbd and nmbd over to upstart jobs, to ensure nmbd starts reliably
    after the network is up.  LP: #523868.
  * Remove /etc/network/if-up.d/samba on upgrade, superseded by the above.

I already tried to remove this ifupdown hook once before.  It should be
entirely irrelevant given the current nmbd start condition, and if it's
not irrelevant, it's also not reliable because the same thing that
triggers nmbd before the interface is really up will also call the
ifupdown hooks.

And no, bug #836849 is not the same bug.  The ifupdown hook was always
about getting *nmbd* to start up; that bug is about smbd startup.
