[plug] samba weirdness

[Sol]

I'm not even sure if this is a problem or not. I just did an ordinary 
apt-get upgrade on a Debian Woody box (didn't touch the sources or 
nothing) and one of the 29 packages upgraded was samba. When it 
unpacked it complained:

The file /etc/samba/debian_config does not exist! There is something 
wrong with the installation of Samba on this system. Please reinstall 
Samba. I can't continue.

/etc/init.d/samba restart does the same thing. So 
I "touch /etc/samba/debian_config" and restarted samba and this time it 
works! But it's an empty file. I'm worried that this might cause 
problems in the future but don't know anything about this.

To quote a great mind: Please explain?
