Yes, that is correct.

Well, ideally I would want nscd to be added back in since I actually need it. But since it has been removed there is no point in having the man pages for something that doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I'll add a separate request about that.

Please don't. It's not coming back. See  FS#79736  for background info.

Not even as a separate package?
