[Bug 691462] [NEW] nssldap-update-ignoreusers overwrite symlinks

[Jan J]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libnss-ldap

We have made adaptions to /etc/ldap.conf by adding a divert and
distributing our own file. When nssldap-update-ignoreusers is run the
divert symlink is replaced. This makes future updates to our ldap.conf
settings impossible as dpkg will update the diverted file which will not
be the /etc/ldap.conf.

Before:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 2010-12-17 10:15 ldap.conf -> ldap.conf.su-linux-sua
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  239 2010-11-29 09:44 ldap.conf.su-linux-sua
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8878 2010-12-09 11:36 ldap.conf.su-linux-sua-orig

After:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  402 2010-12-17 10:16 ldap.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  402 2010-12-17 10:16 ldap.conf.su-linux-sua
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8878 2010-12-09 11:36 ldap.conf.su-linux-sua-orig

The problematic part is "sed -i".
