That would be fantastic.  If you could watch the mailing list for new
uploads of new upstream versions and try them out, and keep an eye out for
requests for testing, that would help us out a great deal.

Things are going to be a bit quiet right now because of the lenny release
freeze, but I expect activity to pick up a lot as soon as lenny is
released and we start working on squeeze.

(Quanah's right that testing new versions of OpenLDAP are also useful, but
OpenLDAP already does have quite a few testing resources, whereas the
Debian packages aren't as well-tested.  Usually upstream testing applies
to the Debian packages, but sometimes there are packaging issues that
cause unexpected differences.)
