[Pkg-openldap-devel] iODBC vs. UnixODBC?

[Steve Langasek]

And 2.4.7-1 is away to unstable at last.  Hurray!

One thing I noted while prepping the upload is that we're build-depending on
libiodbc2-dev.  I'm not convinced there's much value in having two ODBC
driver managers in Debian (UnixODBC and iODBC), and think it would be better
to move towards building everything against a single DM: while both DMs are
supposed to be ABI-compatible and having them both around is somewhat useful
for interoperability testing, if this is the only reason for having them
both I don't think it's really worthwhile to have the duplicated code.

So would it be reasonable to switch the build-dep to unixodbc-dev for the
next upload?
