[Bug 1646954] Re: Sync to Debian for -ldap, drop Ubuntu's -auth-client

This bug is about reverting the full set of Ubuntu changes in these
packages (they are intrinsically tied to the Ubuntu specific packages
that have been unmaintained for quite some time now).  As Ubuntu no
longer recommends them (we strongly recommend and only support SSSD
instead), my thinking is we should revert fully to what Debian has*.

>What are your thoughts about the migration of debconf data from ldap-auth-config back into the pam/nss packages?
If possible, that's great.  I was nervous about corner cases so prompting seemed fine (and was what a sync would do by default).  

* I wanted to aim for a Sync because I don't believe these packages are
likely to get more attention in Ubuntu as we are strongly pushing in
another direction. But that way if people do use them they get the
latest fixed from Debian.
