Sorry, but samba does the right thing.

Let's quote /etc/init.d/samba:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          samba
# Required-Start:    $network $local_fs $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:     $network $local_fs $remote_fs
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Should-Start:      slapd cups
# Should-Stop:       slapd cups
# Short-Description: start Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd)
### END INIT INFO


So, samba init script explicitly depends on any init script providing
"$network"

The network-manager init script does *not* provide "network". This may
be on purpose, I don't know. But if there is a bug, it is not in samba
but rather in network-manager. But let n-m maintainers give their
advice, there is maybe a very good reason for n-m init script to not
provide "network".
