I have just upgraded about half the office to breezy after the testing went
pretty well.  I found this bug was still present, and I found that there is too
parts to it.

The first half is pretty well covered in the discussion here.  The other half of
the problem is caused by poor packaging, see
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/3688 for more info.

The end result is moving from hoary to breezy is a lot more time consuming than
it needs to be just because a common office environment config hasn't been tested.

I checked that making only one of the changes would fix the problem, but I found
both changes needed to be made in order for gdm to work. Obviously libnss-ldap
being fubar'd means logins won't work.

Console logins work fine when libnss-ldap is properly configured, so IMHO this
is a problem with when gdm is started
