Mixing and matching packages from various sources is no way to administer any number of servers.

I could try out 0.6.2, but if it works, it won't help me because
1) Ubuntu won't jump from 0.5.0 to 0.6.2 and can't support the version
2) I won't automatically get security patches to my 0.6.2

So, in order to get a proper solution, what would people suggest?

Since the current state of affairs is that *neither* libnss-ldap *nor* libnss-ldapd is stable in 8.04 LTS, it means there is no reliable way to configure a current Ubuntu system against any of the common directories out there (Open Directory, One, AD, plain simple OpenLDAP, ...). I would assume that fixing at least one of the libnss-ldap* packages would be a priority, and I'd like to help, but I won't waste my time upgrading to packages from random distributions when I know for sure that it won't bring me a long term solution.
