I don't think we should cater to such use cases. Indeed, I was unconvinced that we should split the binary packages at all for this; but having done so, I see no reason why we care about someone wanting libpam-winbind without libnss-winbind. If you're doing authentication via winbind, it's silly to not also do the UID mapping part. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
