/etc/nsswitch.conf is owned by glibc. It is not a symbolic link as we
ship it.
That's true but...
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.
...as I understood it under the old authconfig regime the glibc
installed version was overwritten by the authconfig generated version
as part of the install? and I thought authselect was supposed to
have taken over that role.
