There are NIS+ client packages available for potato, but they are not
in the normal distribution. See
http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/nisplus/index.html
The following sources.list lines allow you to apt-get the packages/source
deb http://www.realbodo.de/ debian/
deb-src http://www.realbodo.de/ debian/
I have had NIS+ running on a couple of machines quite satisfactorily
for a few months now, and plan to switch all our other Debian boxes
from plain NIS as I upgrade them to potato over the summer.
