[Samba] NIS extensions - only 3 of 55 entries present

I have a test setup of samba 4.1.6 under ubuntu 14.04.

When I do the query shown at
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Using_RFC2307_on_a_Samba_DC#Check_if_NIS_Extensions_are_installed_in_your_Directory
it shows I have the ypServ30 container installed.

If I change this query to -s sub then I find 3 entries in that subtree 
(see [1] below)

However the full schema in /usr/share/samba/setup/ypServ30.ldif has 55 
entries. The three records I have correspond to just the last three 
entries in this file.

Questions:
- Is this normal for an out-of-the-box Samba install?
- Should I install the other 52 LDAP entries, if I want to do 
centralised user/group mapping for Unix servers?

Thanks,

Brian.
