I can reproduce the problem.

$ sudo systemctl status samba-ad-dc.service
Mot de passe [sudo] de mathieu :

  At this time the 'samba' binary should only be used for either:
  'server role = active directory domain controller' or to access the
ntvfs file server with 'server services = +smb' or the rpc proxy with
'dcerpc endpoint servers = remote'
  You should start smbd/nmbd/winbindd instead for domain member and
standalone file server tasks

  STATUS=daemon failed to start: Samba detected misconfigured 'server
role' and exited. Check logs for details, error code 22

We need to replicate the init script snipset:
        SERVER_ROLE=`samba-tool testparm --parameter-name="server
role"  2>/dev/null | tail -1`
        if [ "$SERVER_ROLE" != "active directory domain controller" ]; then
            exit 0
        fi

in the meantime, you can run:
$ sudo systemctl mask samba-ad-dc.service
$ sudo apt-get install -f

I still need to fix this in the package.
