We have the concept of "quirks"[1] in ubuntu-release-upgrader which allows us to handle special cases like this. For example, a cycle or two ago when flatpak was removed from flavor seeds, we added some code to not auto-remove flatpak if it appeared the user was actively using it. So yes, if nothing else we could add a quirk to make sure samba-vfs-modules-extra is installed upgrades if samba-vfs-modules is currently installed.
