Steve, sorry if I didn't wrote clearly before: I don't require to fix 
this module immediately. My opinion is that it will be sufficient if 
this module will not kill slapd (as minimum on debian/ubuntu) when 
someone update ldap from binaries.

So my suggestion is to put this (modified) patch to debian/patch and add 
something like "smbk5pwd is unstable in current openldap" in
Readme.Debian.
