Yes, I've taken it. Even though it is not completely finished
I'll make a release next week so that people that need NIS can
have it. It will be called something like nis-1.00-1.deb.

It includes the latest and very stable NIS server (ypserv-0.17)
that can serve as master and slave, the latest yppasswdd,
the BSD ypbind, and the rest of the regular client stuff.
