for lib{pam,nss}-ldap i used debconf to share the common data, and just made
the packages use renamed config files.

it makes things easy for the user when (s)he enters the data once and it's
re-used in the other package too. This just leaves you with the situation where
you need to have a way to configure the packages differently too.
