Yes I did, but why should I have to keep babysitting these things - they
have billions of cycles per second.  The upgrade script could easily
have figured out that Samba wasn't running hence restarting it is
pointless.  And I happen to know what Samba is.  In the rest of the
interfaces it is presented as "Folder sharing".

I don't remember the specifics but something similar happened to me with
Feisty.  I didn't want any network accessible services running on my
laptop.  I installed Battle for Wesnoth which then installed and ran a
daemon not needed for single player game play.  I promptly when in and
disabled it.  And then an upgrade happened and it was re-enabled/re-
started again.

This whole issue could probably be addressed by making invoke-rc.d more
intelligent.  For example it could not start programs that don't have
/etc/rc?.d links.
