Distribution packages are not meant to be used for production services. 
There is even an FAQ about this fact on written by one of the previous 
Debian LDAP packagers on the OpenLDAP website:

<http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1456.html>

I would strongly advise you to build your own package of OpenLDAP for 
production use that live in their own location (/usr/local, /opt, etc).  I 
suggest OpenLDAP 2.4.36 linked to OpenSSL for security reasons.

In addition, you may wish to read the OpenLDAP changelog while your 
packages are building:
