Bug#900358: O: nis -- clients and daemons for the Network Information Service (NIS)

[Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the nis package.

The package description is:
 This package provides tools for setting up and maintaining a NIS domain.
 NIS, originally known as Yellow Pages (YP), is mostly used to let
 several machines in a network share the same account information, such
 as the password file.

Note that the package really should be split into multiple source
packages but there's licensing problems which will cause problems
getting through new.
