[Pkg-openldap-devel] Proposal for the configuration in debian.

Hi,

I would like to change the structure of the slapd configuration a bit so
that it addresses a few issues.

- - /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

This configuration file should contain a minimal set of parameters that
are needed to run the database server (without the directories)

- - /etc/ldap/ldapdb/*

The directory /etc/ldap/ldapdb should contain files that describe the
directory and the needed parameters for that directory. The files in
there can be called to their basedn for example. These files can contain
the indexes, acl's and normal other parameters needed to setup a directory.

- - /etc/ldap/schema/*

The schema's that are needed to be included. This is already done.

After this said:
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf should contain these lines:
include /etc/ldap/schema/*
include /etc/ldap/ldapdb/*

and some other configuration settings.

In this way we can fix the issues around upgrading and following
includes (#304488). And we can fix #333428 this bug. There are probably
several out there that can be fixed if we do it this way.

Regards,

Matthijs Mohlmann
