What's happened is that at some point in the past you have installed nis and later (probably after deleting it) manually deleted the init script. Since the init script is a conffile dpkg preserves this change when you reinstall. The package should handle the removed init script more gracefully but obviously it still won't reinstall the init script unless you purge or otherwise do so manually. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
