We had this same problem in the our distribution. The autofs init script
can't read the NIS auto.master map if ypbind hasn't been started yet. We
worked around it by changing the startup order so that autofs would start
after ypbind. I suspect that a similar fix will work for Debian users.
(I'm not familiar with the FLAGS variable that appears control this for
Debian, or I'd probably have included a patch.)
