The easiest/recommended way is to follow
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for enabling -proposed.
The package was also built and is available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/1.11.8-0ubuntu0.7. You could
use that to do a manual install.
Please if you post a comment saying it worked mention (or didn't) which
method you used and report the version of sssd you have installed
(something like dpkg -l | grep sss I think should capture all sss libs
and sssd).
Thanks to all who test!

Title:
[regression] sssd won't start if autofs is not installed
Status in sssd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in sssd source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[Impact]
* On Trusty, SSSD does not start when AutoFS is not installed because the AutoFS "starting" signal is not emitted.
* This only affects the upstart service (Trusty). Systemd services work fine.
[Test Case]
* Install SSSD in a machine without AutoFS and reboot.
* The service won't start on boot, even though it can be started manually.
[Regression Potential]
* None expected, but if one is found it will only impact the startup
of SSSD at boot
[Original Description]
The fix for LP# 1566508 (in Ubuntu 14.04 at least) introduces a
regression that prevents sssd from starting if the autofs package is
not installed.
The /etc/init/sssd.conf script now has:
```
start on (filesystem and net-device-up and starting autofs)
```
The "starting autofs" will never happen if autofs is not installed.
That's critical in that that prevents authentication after the next
boot after "sssd" has been upgraded.
The work around for now is to remove that "and starting autofs" or
install the autofs package.
```
$ apt-cache policy sssd
