Ok, so I took it upon myself to make some of the requested changes, as far as my current ability and worktime allows:
* Cleared the trailing whitespace.
* Updated the nslcd.init patch to use init_is_upstart
However, while I can update a patch, I have no knowledge as yet on how/where to specify the Depends: lsb-base (>= 4.1+Debian3) nor do I know how to "handle stopping the service in their preinst when upgrading from a pre-upstart-capable version" as per the final section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpstartCompatibleInitScripts
Likewise the maintainer update was not done for similar reasons...

Sorry I can't yet be of more help.
