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

[Andreas Hasenack]

We have two big diffs regarding debian:
- we use upstream's /etc/ldap.{conf,secret}; debian uses /etc/pam_ldap{.conf,secret} for pam, and /etc/libnss-ldap.{conf,secret} for nss
- we use ldap-auth-config for configuration, whereas debian uses plain debconf inside each package (pam and nss)

This bug is about the second item above, right? What are your thoughts
about the migration of debconf data from ldap-auth-config back into the
pam/nss packages?

Title:
  Sync to Debian for -ldap, drop Ubuntu's -auth-client

Status in ldap-auth-client package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps
  Sync libnss-ldap with Debian unstable (265-5)
  Sync libpam-ldap with Debian unstable (tested with 186-3 now 186-4)
  Remove src:ldap-auth-client from artful archive (and binaries ldap-auth-config, ldap-auth-client)
   * Justification - Ubuntu specific, last updated 20 Dec 2011 to make it arch foreign.  Last real update 11 Jul 2008.
  Remove src/bin:auth-client-config
   * Justification - Ubuntu specific, last updated 17 Dec 2011 to make it build with dh_python2. Last real updated 11 Jul 2008.

  sssd is by far our recommended way to do ldap auth today. We
  previously dropped to universe with the plan to drop like above some
  time after 16.04 (see bug 1408478)

  These are all related because the majority (All?) of the diffs for
  libnss-ldap/libpam-ldap is to split them up to use the two Ubuntu
  specific packages.  As we no longer maintain them, we should drop them
  and revert back to the Debian builds.

  Reverse-Recommends
  ==================
  * libnss-ldap                   (for ldap-auth-config) [Will be fixed by sync]

  Reverse-Depends
  ===============
  * libpam-ldap                   (for ldap-auth-config) [Will be fixed by sync]
  $ reverse-depends -b src:ldap-auth-client
