Not only do I not think this warrants a freeze exception, I think it's
an incorrect change to make to the package.  Other NSS backends that
rely on network services only Suggest: nscd.  I think nis should do the
same.

Installing nscd causes it to be used automatically, and my past
experience is that this causes its own reliability problems due to nscd
wedging itself.  Maybe it's more reliable now; but this is certainly not
the time in the release cycle to be finding that out.  So we should not
do anything that would cause nscd to be pulled in automatically onto
users' systems.
