[Bug 569757] Re: NIS upstart dependency broken for lucid

[Steve Langasek]

A user has contacted me privately to report a regression with the
package in -proposed:

The issue here is a wrong check in the ypbind pre-start script.  We're
accidentally trying to start ypserv in all cases that we're running
ypbind, when we should only be trying to start it if NISSERVER is set to
a value other than false.

Marked verification-failed; I'll work on preparing a new package.
