nss-ldapd should be a drop-in replacement for nss_ldap in most
situations. If you install the package it should automatically pick up
the configuration options from nss_ldap as defaults.

There are a number of differences from nss_ldap:
- different architecture (running deamon to do all lookups)
- configuration file syntax is slightly different and does not silently
  ignore unrecognised options

Also, nss-ldapd is missing some features:
- no attribute defaults and overrides
- SSL/TLS support is not thoroughly tested (starttls is reported to not
  work)
- no support for nested groups
- SASL and Kerberos configuration is untested
- rootbinddn/rootbindpw support is disabled
