grep -n 'local'  /etc/samba/smb.conf.default 

55:   log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
73:;   include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
121:;   path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
130:;    path = /usr/local/samba/profiles

This is a regression from previous versions and I discovered this with dispatch-conf due to that path being config-protected.

This was different in 4.1.17 ( my previous installation, which was installed a lifetime ago, March 11 2015 )

These lines were all respectively:

  log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
  include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m
  path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
  path = /var/lib/samba/profiles

Also, possibly related in the printer defaults:

- path = /var/spool/samba
+ path = /usr/spool/samba
