For back-meta, never mind -- Howard Chu says that back-meta is violating
the module policy for slapd and they will want to change it upstream so
that it doesn't have the direct dependency on back-ldap.

That still leaves back-perl.  Maybe we can convince Brendan to start
linking all modules (and the Perl interpretor) against libperl as of the
5.10 release that's coming soon?
