Ahhhhh ... Okay, I take you're point: you mean that as there were
no examples in the AMD sources of use of any other map besides
the amd.home map, you believe /var/yp/Makefile should *also*
not use any other example - despite that the comments included in
/etc/am-utils.amd.conf are somewhat misaligned with what is in
/var/yp/Makefile and that /var/yp/Makefile will for sure need to be
modified by anyone using AMD?

Well, personally I do not agree with this; I see an opportunity
to reduce the misalignment between the three packages (amd/nis and
amd/autofs) within Debian and to potentially alleviate sysadmins of
a little frustration and effort, but ...

... I've filed the bug report, it's out of my hands now. I leave it
to you to do as you see fit.
