I think using LDAP as a Network Information Service (see RFC2307) may be 
relevant here. I don't know whether that's possible on Linux at the moment but 
I would guess that if it is (or ever will be) then it may not involve ypbind. 
So perhaps that's pointing towards /etc/init.d/nis saying it provides nis and 
that /etc/init.d/autofs depends on nis if it's installed. And then ldap as a 
Network Information Service could say it provides nis. Just a thought.
