Just tried to install sssd from the above repo.

There's only packages for the old 10.04 lucid and 10.10 maverick, 
nothing for 11.04 natty or 11.11 oneiric. I tried to install on natty 
using packages from maverick, but it depends on packages no longer 
available in the natty package tree. :(

However for oneric sssd 1.5.13 seem to have made it into the universe 
package tree:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/sssd
