Just checked; interesting enough the package libsasl2-modules-ldap 
depends on the package libldap2, which is the ancient version 2.1.17 of 
OpenLDAP.

There is a package libldap-2.3-0 in Debian Etch. It does not replace 
libldap2 but installs next to it, with seperate filenames. So installing 
that will not make anything depending on libldap2 use 2.3 instead of 2.1 
stuff, which I guess is by design.

So I wonder if the package libsasl2-modules-ldap should rather have a 
dependency to libldap-2.3-0 instead of libldap2?

Bonus question: I cannot find a libldap-2.3-dev or libldap-2.3-0-dev. Is 
that a mistake. Is that a bug which should be filed against the 
openldap-2.3 source package?

Regards,
Torsten
