The problem with gosa-plugin-netgroups was, that the upstream changes in the plugin that were needed for 2.7 compatibility were only provided by GONICUS very shore before the wheezy freeze. Too short. The GOsa² packaging team offered to include the netgroups plugin into the build infrastructure of the gosa src:package, but for this it was also too late at that time.

not as a virtual package. The upstream code was in src:package debian-edu-config. The build process of src:package debian-edu-config created a bin:package named debian-edu-config-gosa-netgroups. This bit of code was hacked on the dev meeting in 2011 in Hamburg.
debian-edu-config-gosa-netgrroups, causing bug #662947
/me wonders if there is a typo in the bug number... the quoted bug seems totally unrelated... you probably also mean #682747 here?
now it's simply shipped within d-e-c (which might be even more ugly concerning policy?)
Yes, it is more ugly, but for wheezy, this is our only chance to get the netgroups plugin into Debian (again).

Let's take the squeeze way here (or no way...).

argghhh... the LDAP import add-on is a must!!!!I cannot imaging to maintain a large deployment without such an import filter. There were caveats in the 2.6 LDAP mass import code, but once you were aware of them, it did good deeds. We probably have to hack that one into debian-edu-config, as well (plus updating the upstream code for usage with gosa 2.7). Grmpf...
