| We are, thankfully, down to one gnutls, one gcrypt, and one sasl in sarge;

  This

That did not change anything.  libldap.so.2.0.15 did not exist before I
upgraded to libldap2 2.1.30-6, though.   Here are relevant package versions:

ldap-utils     2.1.30-3
libldap-2.2-7  2.2.23-1
libldap2       2.1.30-6
libnss-ldap    238-1
libpam-ldap    178-1
gdm            2.6.0.8-1

Did I miss something?

Jay
