I'd like to request an unblock of unscd. This is a bit of any unusual
request, because unscd is not currently in testing. However, it is
pathetically small (2584 lines), is a leaf package, and works
significantly better than nscd does.

unscd (0.47-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial packaging for Debian (Closes: #513305)

Description: Micro Name Service Caching Daemon
 A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups for running
 programs and caches the results for the next query. You only need
 this package if you are using slow Name Services like LDAP, NIS or
 NIS+.
 .
 This particular NSCD is a complete rewrite of the GNU glibc nscd
 which is a single threaded server process which offloads all NSS
 lookups to worker children; cache hits are handled by the parent,
 and only cache misses start worker children, making the parent immune
 to resource leaks, hangs, and crashes in NSS libraries.
 .
 It should mostly be a drop-in replacement for existing installs using
 nscd.

I've been using it in production for months, and it's been in unstable
for a while already; if worst comes to worst and there is a serious
problem with it in testing, it can easily be removed. [But unless
there are weird architecture-specific problems, I don't foresee this
happening.]

It's been in unstable for a couple of weeks only, it has been uploaded
only once and it has a limited number of users (according to the popcon).
Moreover, it doesn't seem to fix any RC bug. So, I'd rather keep it in sid
and not unblock it.
