This actually breaks an upgrade (hence the severity), which stops at:
=====
Setting up sssd-common (1.11.7-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/default/sssd ...
=====

Obviously, the processes running are:
=====
8690 /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/sssd-common.postinst configure 1.11.2-1
8713 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/sssd start
8716 /usr/sbin/sssd -i -f
8717 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sssd/sssd_be --domain LDAP --debug-to-files
8718 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sssd/sssd_nss --debug-to-files
8719 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sssd/sssd_pam --debug-to-files
=====

The changes were introduced in 1.11.5.1-1, with no rationale except a
line in the debian/changelog: simply reverting the settings to the
previous version and then stopping sssd resumes the upgrade.

Thx, bye,
