dh_installnss: error: Unknown NSS database 'automount' [debian/libnss-sss.nss:6]
make: *** [debian/rules:3: binary] Error 25

This list looks incomplete, missing from the databases listed
in nsswitch.conf(5) are:
aliases
initgroups
publickey

Control: retitle -1 dh-nss: Known/Unknown databases are not documented
Control: severity -1 normal

The baseline for "known databases" used by dh_installnss is the list of NSS databases shipped in nsswitch.conf by base-files.

There are two separate issues here:

1. libnss-sss.nss lacks a `automount database` directive to explicitly introduce a database that is not in base-file's nsswitch.conf. dh-nss v1.6 tolerated that, version 1.7 does not. A patch for sssd is in the works: <https://salsa.debian.org/sssd-team/sssd/-/merge_requests/17>.

2. The error message and the man page of dh_installnss do not properly explain the situation. (Hence, the renaming of this bug.)
