I guess you're refering to
autofs-5.0.1-rc1-cleanup-config-files-names.patch here.
Reading it now, it seems I mixed two issues:
- make ldap_auth configuration file researched in autofs configuration
directory, instead of having to set its full name in autofs
configuration file, avoiding yet another subtitution during installation
- and actually renaming autofs to autofs.conf, mainly for consistency
between files

I understand such changes ocurring after a final release may be
considered a bit drastic, that's why I originally submitted quite long
ago. The same applies to the patch renaming configuration options from
DEFAULT_FOO to just FOO: while cleaner, it breaks existing
configurations. If you don't want to merge them now, please consider
them for a 5.1 release then.
