The first problem that comes to mind is that of maintainer scripts. If pam_* and nss_* keys are in the same file, how do you push updates to libpam-ldap that don't break libnss-ldap? You can no longer rely on the automatic merge tools, but now have to manually add/remove/modify keys by name, and build a parser. It gets complicated.
