I am the original reporter of this bug...
IMHO it is also wrong that libnss-ldap depends on ldap-auth-client.
ldap-auth-client (correctly) depends on both libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap
so that a user wishing to install "regular" LDAP authentication can use
ldap-auth-client to activate both.
But the software in libnss-ldap does not need the software in ldap-auth-
client!
Therefore it is a bug and this dependency should be removed. Maybe
somebody added it as a convenience, but is actually wrong and should be
removed.
IMHO a correct dependency tree should look like this:
ldap-auth-client -> libpam-ldap
-> libnss-ldap
-> auth-client-config (suggests)
There should be no other dependencies between the other packages as they
serve no purpose I can see.
