Trying to track down a bug in IPP printing

We're down a rabbit hole where it seems that in Fedora 29
/etc/nssswitch.conf ought to be a symlink. This machine has been
upgraded from F28 and this is not the case. AFAIK I have never edited
the file.
/etc/nsswitch.conf is owned by glibc. It is not a symbolic link as we
ship it.
If find out which packages replaces our configuration with a symbolic
link,
It's authselect.
# rpm -qV glibc
....L.... c /etc/nsswitch.conf
# ls -l /etc/nsswitch.conf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 Nov 18 04:58 /etc/nsswitch.conf ->
/etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf
My clean F29 installation had no such symbolic link, has to "authselect
select --force ..." to force the creation of the link.
The non symlinked /etc/nsswitch.conf even had the header:
# Do not modify this file manually.
# If you want to make changes to nsswitch.conf please modify
# /etc/authselect/user-nsswitch.conf and run 'authselect apply-changes'.
So, was it generated at some point by authselect and not as symbolic link?
Note: Today I got new update for authselect (1.0.2-1.fc29)
Authselect did not take over default nsswitch.conf (that comes from
glibc) and pam settings (from pam). Installation of authselect package
it self does not make any changes, you need to invoke the authselect
command somehow -- anaconda invokes it automatically during installation
without kickstart.
If you see this comment in nsswitch.conf and yet nsswitch.conf is a
file, not a symlink to /etc/authselect I suppose you are using some sort
of snapshot?
