Public bug reported:

Upgraded Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS server to 24.04.1 LTS using do-release-upgrade.
Before upgrade, server was fully up-to-date and freshly rebooted.

I was not prompted during the upgrade process, about a configuration
change of smb.conf.

Yet after the upgrade, the contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf are the
defaults, all custom settings were lost, and there is no "smb.conf.dpkg-
old" nor similar file on /etc/samba/

More specifically the upgrade was samba:amd64 2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1.6
-> 2:4.19.5+dfsg-4ubuntu9

### What you expected to happen

Either /etc/samba/smb.conf untouched, or the usual "a new version of
configuration file blahblahblah is available but yours is locally
modified" with the prompt on what to do.

### What happened

/etc/samba/smb.conf was just overwritten with defaults.
