If anyone is willing to be maintainer of the libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap packages I'm willing to help getting the packages into shape. I'm the maintainer of nss-pam-ldapd (a replacement for both) but I'm not looking to become maintainer of the above packages myself. I'm also willing to get the packages into shape by: - updating to the latest upstream versions - switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format (converting patches) - switch to dh sequencer - more packaging cleanups - try to fix most RC bugs and try to address some of the other bugs I may also point people to libnss-ldapd and libpam-ldapd as alternatives (depending on whether anyone else is willing to do any work on this). I can make a QA upload of the above changes (depending on whether anyone objects, speaks up or no-one responds). It would be best to have the packages in some VCS somewhere (any suggestions?). The alternative is to remove the packages (see #717917 and #717918) which, while being good for the popularity of my packages ;), would perhaps not be the most ideal situation.
