It looks as though there is a virtual package providing the smbfs

Maybe worth a try.

I got smbfs to install and work!
I assumed either the Sid or Weezy repositories have a newer smbfs
package but no correspondingly newer cifs-utils package, so I went
into the Synaptic Package Manager and dropped all repositories except
for Squeeze. I also left references to Sid and Wheezy but dropped the
'main' repository so that the Synaptic Package Manager wouldn't freak
out. A search for cifs-utils now turned up the version smbfs was
expecting and both installed along with samba-common.
Just make sure you go back and reset the repositories back to their
original settings when done and everything should work as expected ...
it did for me.

Man! I've got to think before I post, eh? I got it backwards - one of
the repositories has an updated 'cifs-utils' without and updated 'smbfs'
to go with it, not the other way around.
These are the repositories the Synaptic Package Manager 'shipped with'
in wmlive_2012-06-11-0236-amd64. The only change made is
www.debian-multimedia.org was asked to drop 'debian' from it's URL so
now it's www.deb-multimedia.org.
