Presumably this means we have the advantage of knowing the problems
involved and being able to avoid them or at least reduce their impact?

Does the move to using slapd.d imply changes to other packages, or is
this a transition in the "move from state A to state B" sense rather
than the Debian "lots of packages changing at the same time and making
the release team cry" sense?
