nslcd is not reliable

[Adam Thompson]

nslcd(8) simply isn't reliable in a variety of situations.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-pam-ldapd/+bug/1449163

all could be solved or mitigated, as far as I can tell, by converting nslcd from sysvinit to upstart, as documented in this issue that has been open since 12.x:

I'm filing this new bug with the correct package name in the hopes this gets some attention... currently this makes Ubuntu pretty useless in a heterogenous environment where RFC2307 use is required.
