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.
