After reading up on NIS and NIS+, I think we should drop our delta on this. The fact we diverged from Debian on this particular point is actually just an accident due to our different release schedules and us having basically stopped merging their changes for several years right after the demotion from Depends to Recommends.

However, we should definitely mention this in the release notes.
