It would be very useful for Debian Edu if pam-ldap could use the SRV

I note that somewhere, in the chain of bugs you're reported on the two
packages, that your DNS setup is bad (localhost.localdomain) !
Until you have a proper DNS setup, anything done in pam/nss-ldap will
not provide you any benefit !
These libraries will
*) rely on the current domain name in the query for SRV records
*) construct base from DNS domain, or
*) query rootDSE of servers discovered by SRV (your new rqst)
DHCP client (v3), and resolvconf do a fairly good job of managing
/etc/resolv.conf (putting in search/domain) - from dhcp server, or
/etc/network/interfaces.
For static IPs, the user should know domain to put in /etc/resolv.conf.
You can do dynamic discovery of all this, but I've not looked into your
toolchain - its support, goals, etc.
