[Bug 334374] Re: libnss-ldap should not depend on libpam-ldap

[Robie Basak]

@Daniel

Makes sense to me. Since NSS isn't strictly auth, would it also make
sense to rename ldap-auth-config to ldap-config?

This area is complex, especially with the delta with Debian in mind. I'm
not even considering touching this because I'm worried I'll break
something, and it seems like it would take significant effort to verify
that all use cases will be fulfilled with any change at all.

I think this needs a stakeholder to drive it, particularly with speaking
to Debian, coordinating, etc. Since it may have wider implications, I
think it makes sense to seek consensus on the Ubuntu mailing lists, too.

Volunteers welcome :)

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libnss-ldap

  I use LDAP to manage users and groups and Kerberos for
  authentification

  thus, I need libnss-ldap and libpam-krb5, but NOT libpam-ldap

  client-config as starting poing)
