Title:
  Removal Request: Move to universe from main

Status in ldap-auth-client package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in libnss-ldap package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in libpam-ldap package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  These 4 packages are co-dependent on each other:
  libnss-ldap is no longer maintained upstream*
  libpam-ldap is no longer maintained (same company as above)
  ldap-auth-config/client - Ubuntu specific packages to help configuring, last updated in 2011

  Release:  Vivid onwards, these packages are in universe.

  Rationale: aside from no longer being maintained (and having a good
  amount of unfixed bugs), sssd is the preferred way to authenticate to
  ldap.   Additionally the universe libnss-ldap*d* package is better
  than this one in many respects.

  Reverse Depends:
  ldap-auth-config - zentyal-users (universe), python-schooltool.ldap (universe)
  Suggests to either ldap/ldapd - pynslcd (universe), cipux-rpcd (universe)

  Eventually (sometime after 16.04 maybe?) we'd likely want to get rid
  of ldap-auth-config/client and revert to Debian's packaging of libnss-
  ldap/libpam-ldap.
