I tried upgrading to nlslcd 0.8.4ubuntu0.3 on a system where the "ldap-
uris" debconf entry was out of sync from the "uri" line in nslcd.conf,
and confirmed that the .conf file line was overwritten with the debconf
value, thus resulting in a non-working configuration.  (The "debconf-
show nslcd" did not change during that upgrade process.)

I restored the working nslcd.conf and then upgraded to  nslcd
0.8.4ubuntu0.4~lp1229713~2 from the PPA, and confirmed that the
nslcd.conf file wasn't changed (though the file timestamp shows it was
edited, nothing was actually changed)... and also see that the ldap-uris
debconf entry was updated to contain  the value pulled from the
nslcd.conf file.

After the upgrade, LDAP  functionality for both NSS and PAM seems to be
working fine, so I think the PPA package does fix the  upgrade problem,
at least for the uri-value-has-changed  case.  (Note that we don't have
AD-server  DNS entries at this site, so my test doesn't specifically
cover that particular problem.)
