Samba uses ucf to manage config file during upgrade. This should
ensure proper three way merge between old, new and local config.
However this is a bit broken in stretch as it searches for [cdrom]
section.

Can you send your /etc/samba/smb.conf* (including .ucf*) and
/var/run/samba/upgrades/smb.conf files?
