I recently discovered the same problem with debian-edu. We install an ldap server on the same machine using libnss-ldap, and the boot just hang. I found bug #375077 on this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I had to boot using the 'emergency' boot parameter to be able to edit nsswitch.conf to get the machine running enough for me to debug this. I guess programs started very early in the boot process must only look up users and groups present in /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and libnss-ldap should be configured to not try so long before it give up. I'm not sure what changed, but libnss-ldap with openldap on the same machine work just fine both in woody and sarge.
