Ah, I think I've spotted a very likely cause of the problem -- the upgrade downloaded a few .deb packages that were totally borked.. During the upgrade it mentioned that samba had failed to install properly but continued.. I didn't think anything else had failed. But looking around inside a chroot, I see that actually hundreds of packages haven't been installed or configured. Let's see how things go after I fix those..
