Bug Description

The postinst in ldap-auth-config remove /etc/ldap.conf if answering NO to this debconf question "Make local root Database admin", locking the system with a non working PAM stack if pam_ldap.so was already enabled.

Actually, I think I misunderstood the bug. Had you installed a previous libpam_ldap package and ldap-auth-client was installed as a prereq during an upgrade? If so, ldap.conf should not preexist. I'm pretty sure this must be a use case I missed, I just need to narrow down exactly what you are doing.

Yes, I had libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap previously installed and working.
I then manually installed ldap-auth-client (I can't remember if libpam-ldap
and libnss-ldap got upgraded at the same time), answering NO to the local
root question.

BTW it is easily retriggerable by dpkg-reconfiguring ldap-auth-config and
answering NO to the local root question.
