Yes, the bug can be closed. The workaround script was needed (and still 
is so) for Jessie, but not for Stretch; so it could be dropped.

Bug#791562: nscd: netgroup caching shouldn't be enabled by default

[Wolfgang Schweer]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.19-18
Severity: important
User: debian-...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: debian-edu

Dear Maintainer,

while testing Debian Edu (based on Jessie), mounting of home directories 
depending upon netgroup membership of workstations is failing randomly.

This seems to be caused by the buggy netgroup caching (see #737079).

Disabling netgroup caching lets mounting of homedirs succeed. So please 
consider to provide nscd.conf without netgroup caching as it has been 
the case with the Wheezy release. (See #737079, message #20: no stable 
release enables netgroup caching by default.)

  Strange. I thought I was installing in German. I'll try to reproduce
  the issue during the next days and let you know.
  
 Installation in German (d-i jessie alpha1): 
 
 First a hint is shown, that the translation isn't complete.
 
 Then I'm prompted to choose between:
 
 Europe/Berlin (most locations)
 Europe/Busingen
 
 Both alternatives seem to be untranslated.
 
 If 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' is executed in the installed system, the 
 correct choices 'Europa' and 'Büsingen' show up.
 
The reported error is due to a missing entry in
tzsetup/debian/common.templates.in, I guess.

Without this patch (attached), 'dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc' spits out a 
warning to manually review the DE template...
