Thanks for your answer.
We actually have "install-recommends" disabled in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
If you look closely, you will see that libnss-lap depends on ldap-auth-
config, which in turn depends on ldap-auth-client, which in turn depends
on libpam-ldap (thus the indirect dependency).
Debian has no such ldap-auth-config package (and thus dependencies).
In the end, maybe the problem lies more with the ldap-auth-config itself
depending on ldap-auth-client. I understand the ldap-auth-config allows
the seeding of the debcond database with the appropriate LDAP parameters
for libnss-ldap to work. So maybe the the issue should be addressed at
the level (by the maintainers) of the ldap-auth-config package rather
than linnss-ldap's. Your call.
Best,
Cédric
