The default NIS configuration (not only for Debian by the way) uses
a broadcast to look for a NIS server. This is easy for users: they
don't have to enter the name of a NIS server. And it's nice for the
admins: of one NIS servers fails and you have a second server in the
subnet it will be used automatically.

No, it's not a bug.

Look at /etc/yp.conf. Uncomment the last line and change the NIS server
to the name of your server.
