Bug Description
[Availability]
* The packages are available on all architectures in universe. (libnss-nis and libnss-nisplus are pending publishing from https:/
[Rationale]
* New dependencies of libc6 and libc-dev and the source of the packages are forked from the glibc source:
- Glibc still ships libnsl.so.1, but does not ship libnsl development files thus new packages should build against libnsl-dev which libc-dev depends on.
- Glibc does not ship the RPC development files which are now shipped in rpcsvc-proto and libc-dev will depend on it.
- Glibc does not ship libnss_nis.so.2 and libnss_
[Maintenance]
* The packages are not yet in Debian, but the Ubuntu uploads include only minimal delta compared to the Salsa repositories the packgages will be (co-)maintained by the Debian Glibc Team.
* TODO: This package is to be owned by the Ubuntu Foundations team.

all four packages are split-outs from glibc, already looked explicitly at libnss-nis and -nisplus while reviewing the packages as source NEW.
the packaging looks fine.
at some point after the next LTS releases, some of those probably can be demoted.
