The nsswitch.conf file is apparently provided by the base-files package,
and the sudo package has never done anything explicit to this file.  So
while adding a line to it might be the right solution (I really
don't know, as I don't use LDAP myself and have at best a poor
understanding of the interactions involved), that might best be handled
in the base-files package and not in sudo-ldap.

Do you know what version you were using before?
