[Pkg-sssd-devel] Objections to a libnss-sudo package?

[Gioele Barabucci]

Dear sudo maintainers,

do you have any objections to the addition of an empty libnss-sudo 
binary package to enable the use of dh_installnss in other NSS services 
for `sudoers`?

(MR on Salsa that adds libnss-sudo to src:sudo: [1], bug on BTS: [2])

The lack of a libnss-sudo package currently blocks the conversion to 
dh_installnss of libsss-sudo [3]. libsss-sudo is the last package in 
Debian that does not make use of dh_installnss to set up its NSS 
service. Instead, it relies on a fragile Perl snippet embedded in its 
maintscripts.

Adding libnss-sudo would also resolve the old-standing conflict between 
sudo-ldap and libsss-sudo described in [4].

Do you see issues in adding this empty `libnss-sudo` package?
