Hi,

If find out which packages replaces our configuration with a symbolic
link, please file a bug against that package.  If they want to take over
/etc/nsswitch.conf, this is negotiable, but it needs coordination with
the glibc package.

This is a bit of a tangent, but we probably avoid changing /etc/nsswitch.conf on a running system at all (defer until next offline update?) until

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12459

gets fixed.  as it stands, no long running daemon will see changes to the file, I think, leading to potentially weird bugs sometime after authselect is run right? (and maybe not in an obviously connected way)
