In the discussion on sssd-devel about security equivalent to nss-nonlocal, they  pointed out that there are some changes to the initgroups interface that affect our abuse of internal glibc APIs.

 This message has some more details about a new option, which sounds like a relevant part of the change:

However, recently glibc added an option so that you can segregate initgroups too. In general we try not to use it becaus ein many cases people do want to have the memberships calculated through all group backends. However if you enable "initgroupos: files sss", the getgrouplist call do not continue past files into sss if entries are found in files. I am not sure I like this option, as it is rather new, undocumented, and the semantics may not be really useful, but you may want to experiment with it if you have a new enough glibc. (Was committed to glibc upstream repo on may 10 2011)

If you want to build Debathena software, go install build-depends yourself. This currently leads to stupid things like the maybe-foo packages being installed, and requires aptitude's dependency resolver to resolve the ubufox->xul-ext-ubufox transition, when that shouldn't have been necessary.
