AIUI libnss-ldap means if your connection to the ldap server goes down
temporarily for some reason you're locked out until it comes back. That
seems bad for a setup like debian's which is heavily distributed. So
currently the account data is synchronized with ud-replicate and cron,
and imported into bdb files for libnss-db use.
