Thanks for your answer.

We actually have "install-recommends" disabled in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d

If you look closely, you will see that libnss-lap depends on ldap-auth-config, which in turn depends on ldap-auth-client, which in turn depends on libpam-ldap (thus the indirect dependency).

Debian has no such ldap-auth-config package (and thus dependencies).

In the end, maybe the problem lies more with the ldap-auth-config itself depending on ldap-auth-client. I understand the ldap-auth-config allows the seeding of the debcond database with the appropriate LDAP parameters for libnss-ldap to work. So maybe the the issue should be addressed at the level (by the maintainers) of the ldap-auth-config package rather than linnss-ldap's. Your call.

Best,

Cédric
