[Bug 488696] Re: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]

[TJ]

The addition to /etc/nsswitch.conf needs to be done either:

a) in the nsswitch.conf file shipped by the base-files package, or
b) as part of the postinst/postrm scripts of autofs5

This issue also causes failure for users of autosshfs (not packaged for
Ubuntu as yet).
