I did some testing on the fix and the init script actually does check
for the existence of the binary:

in glibc-2.7/debian/nscd.init

# Sanity checks.

NAME="nscd"
DESC="Name Service Cache Daemon"
DAEMON="/usr/sbin/nscd"
PIDFILE="/var/run/nscd/nscd.pid"

# Sanity checks.
umask 022
[ -f /etc/nscd.conf ] || exit 0
[ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0
[ -d /var/run/nscd ] || mkdir -p /var/run/nscd
. /lib/lsb/init-functions


If you prefer that I add a double check then I can but the bug itself
was about /etc/init.d/nscd being removed during an etch->lenny upgrade
whilst /usr/sbin/nscd remained.
