I've confirmed that this does happen on an etch upgrade, however... > None of what you are doing is apparent on an apt-get update/upgrade.

This claim is untrue. The first few lines of /etc/libnss-ldap.conf state that "the configuration of this file will be done by debconf as long as the first line of this file says '###DEBCONF###' You should use dpkg-reconfigure libnss-ldap to configure this file" Obviously you had already opened the file in order to edit it, so you must have seen the note. I won't claim that this is the best or only way this file could be handled, but it certainly isn't broken, per se. Therefore, I don't think there's anything that has to be changed before we can release etch. noah
