  Description     : Golang library for parsing /etc/passwd entries

 Golang library etcpwdparse
 .
 This library provides simple access to the entries in the /etc/passwd
 file.
 .
 It was made for programs that need to be able to pull home directories,
 user id's and the like but do not want the cgo-dependence of the core
 os/user package.
 .
 The only real caveat is that it doesn't pull user entries from other
 sources like PAM or LDAP since it only operates by reading the file on
 disk.

This is why this library is broken and programs should not use it.
It is not just about LDAP, but also things like e.g. libnss-systemd.
