Currently not. The sudo-ldap package doesn't use nslcd but an own
implementation of LDAP lookups. It shouldn't use nslcd.conf.

It is weird that sudo is parsing nslcd.conf for some reason. It should
probably be looking at /etc/ldap.conf or something similar. Perhaps some
file is incorrectly symlinked to nslcd.conf.

I wouldn't recommend this because if you end up restarting nslcd it will
bail out. If you really want this you could recompile nslcd with the
--disable-configfile-checking configure setting but this will also mean
that any typo's in nslcd.conf will no longer be detected.
