I don't exactly understand what you mean but in Debian there are
packages for both nss_ldap [1] and nss-ldapd [2]. I'm a Debian developer
so I'm both "upstream" for nss-ldapd as well as package maintainer.

[1] http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libnss-ldap&exact=1
[2] http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libnss-ldapd&exact=1
