Thank you for addressing this matter. I think this is more a matter of
different opinions than a technical one, because technically there are
different ways, all discussed above, on how this can be resolved.

Thinking about Ubuntu mission, you said "we strive to provide good
quality packages", but from the end user point of view we can only
consider a samba package that is missing the glusterfs module as really
poor quality. Some have already stated that this issue forced them to
switch to CentOS/RedHat who solved this problem.

As I said above, this can be resolved easily by just including the
missing module without referencing the dependency in the package. Users
are wise enough to know that they need glusterfs client. On the other
end, if you want to force the dependency, what is the matter with having
glusterfs installed (and not used at users' discretion) when samba is
installed? There is already so much fuff installed that we don't know
anything about, that one more package does not make a real difference to
anyone, but would make a positive difference to the large community now
demanding samba with glusterfs.
