Bug Description
On Ubuntu 12.04, libnss-ldap (264-2.2ubuntu2) should not depend on libpam-ldap (via ldap-auth-config and ldap-auth-client).
Currently, if one installs libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap also gets installed through dependencies.
Installing LDAP name services does not - should not, actually - imply requiring authentication via LDAP.
On Debian, there is no such dependency.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
Best,
Cédric

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
libnss-ldap recommends libpam-ldap, which is the same as on Debian. On Ubuntu, recommendations are installed by default, but you can override this with apt-get --no-install- recommends.
As such, I'm closing this bug as Invalid. I suppose Ubuntu could relegate this recommends to a suggests, but I'm not sure this is necessary. Please set back to New with more discussion if you disagree.
