Sorry about the delay in responding.

If you have not already done so, could you file this patch as an upstream
ITS?  We don't really have the resources to maintain functionality patches
to the upstream source and upstream is generally quite responsive about
incorporating or critiquing patches.  They do, however, really want patch
submissions directly from the author of the patch rather than forwarded by
the Debian maintainers.

You can submit your patch at:

    http://www.openldap.org/its/

with the "New Issue Report" button.

If you have already submitted this patch upstream, could you let us know
the ITS number so that we can update the Debian bug metadata accordingly?

Thanks!
