Then you need to remove the nss-pam-ldapd package and compile your own NSS LDAP 
library using the PADL sources.

nss-pam-ldapd replaces the old libnss_ldap library with a lightweight NSS 
library and a daemon.  nslcd is the daemon that actually does the lookups. 
nscld is not cruft.  It's new, but it's not unnecessary.

Read /usr/share/doc/nss-pam-ldapd-0.7.5/README if you want more information.
