Why do you feel that that should be done? The Linux NIS can happily use a NIS supplied shadow file natively so there is no need to merge the password file into the shadow file - you can just distribute the shadow over NIS too. The MERGE_PASSWD option is there to help interoperability with other NIS implementations that can't cope with this.
