Title:
  Upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 server brakes configuration of nslcd

Status in “nss-pam-ldapd” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “nss-pam-ldapd” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Doing a do-release-upgrade from 10.04 server to 12.04 server breaks
  the configuration in /etc/nslcd.conf. Custom modifications are
  partially commented out, at least the directive bindpw is commented
  out which leaves nslcd non functioning after the release upgrade.

  There was no question regarding overwriting the manually modified
  configuration file nor was the original one saved. Using ldap for
  authentication (e.g. in the pam stack and / or for nsswitch) this
  breaks the login process.
