A user has contacted me privately to report a regression with the package in -proposed:

The issue here is a wrong check in the ypbind pre-start script. We're accidentally trying to start ypserv in all cases that we're running ypbind, when we should only be trying to start it if NISSERVER is set to a value other than false.
Marked verification-failed; I'll work on preparing a new package.
