ldap-auth-client combined /etc/libnss-ldap.conf and /etc/pam-ldap.conf. If either or both of these files exist on upgrade, then the user is prompted with a message to manually migrate the files. From debian/ldap-auth-config.templates:

Template: ldap-auth-config/move-to-debconf
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Reconfigure LDAP with debconf?
 The LDAP authentication libraries now use the new unified configuration
 file ${newfn}, and no longer use ${pamfn} or ${nssfn}. One or both of
 these old configuration files were found. These files cannot be
 automatically migrated to the new ${newfn}. You MUST either reconfigure
 your settings with debconf, or manually migrate your settings into ${newfn}
 and verify your configuration before logging out.
