Public bug reported:

The upstart script /etc/init.d/samba-ad-dc.conf runs samba -D even when
the server role is "single server".  This makes samba exit while leaving
a stale /var/run/samba/samba.pid file.

I've monitoring scripts that watch for stale pid files in
/var/run/*/*.pid, which triggers false alerts.

The older /etc/init.d/samba-ad-dc used to check the server role and skip
starting samba when the role wasn't "active directory domain
controller", thus no stale pidfiles were produced.
