[Bug 1081489] Re: autofs package is missing the lookup_sss.so module(!); negating autofs-enabled sssd functionality (automount fails)

[Robie Basak]

Ah, we have a catch. I apologise for not noticing this before.

I've verified that /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/sssd/modules/libsss_autofs.so is provided by sssd. So your patch
would require a new build dependency on sssd. However, sssd is in
universe, and autofs is in main, so we can't depend on it as this is not
permitted by policy (http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-
policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-main).

The only solutions I'm aware of are to promote sssd to main or to demote
autofs to universe. The former is dependent on Canonical's agreement to
support it in main, and I'm not sure how the requirements weigh up in
this case (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements).
