When you install from backports, all of samba is installed and yes it
starts (or tries to start) samba, but as at this point you haven't done
the required setup, the 'samba' daemon does not start, only
'smbd' &
'nmbd' and it starts pretty much as a standalone server.

The OS requirements that you refer to, are only needed if you are going
to compile Samba yourself, so all that you need to is, as you suggest,
'aptitude install samba', this should install all the required packages.
