I plan to later use uscan for simplifying package updates in some
NixPkgs packages. I have no code for that now.
I added Perl packages File::DesktopEntry and File::BaseDir in a slightly
hascky way because one part of the installation system replaced PREFIX=
with --prefix= and the other complained that it doesn't know what to do
with --prefix=. I checked that a script using File::DesktopEntry works,
and I don't know enough Perl to rewrite buildPerlPackage and hope that
my change is an improvement.
I removed trnaslated manpages because it uses po4a which has some more
Debian-specific dependencies of its own.
As the current version doesn't work anymore and there has been a lot of progress
since February, I think it's time to switch over to the new versen.

In addition, we're now switching to using refs/tags from git rather than commit
refs directly, which has the advantage, that we don't have to do bookkeeping
twice, where people forget to increment the version in nixpkgs.
This happened for the previous version, where `pkgver` had the value
"2011.12.08", but in rg3/youtube-dl@661a807c65 the
version actually is "2012.01.08b".

nss-pam-ldapd is a fork of nss_ldap that uses a daemon (nslcd) to
connect to the LDAP server, instead of going directly from PAM/NSS.
This improves performance and separation, and increases security
if you connect to LDAP with a password, since only the nscd daemon
needs to know the password, not every user of PAM/NSS.
This commit will be followed by a commit to NixOS which enables the
use of the nslcd daemon.
This package as well as the patches are used from Debian, as the upstream
version is no longer maintained, plus other distributions seem to use the Debian
patched version aswell. And by looking at the patch from Debian, it seems
reasonable, because it contains a _lot_ of fixes that accrued over time.

- add option to disable the default user/group in the config file.
If you only want to mount filesystems as root (don't use setuid
root), the default is not very useful. This setting is not
overridable from an external config file, so this needs to be done
here. Perhaps it's possible to tell the package to look in system
/etc, but that makes the install-phase try to put files there too.
Would take quite some patching.
