Just to be clear, we're talking about (at least) three separate bugs:

#614569 - fails to reload a partial replica
#770827 - dpkg-reconfigure doesn't ask the dumping question
#??? - attempts database reload even with dumping set to 'never'

#770827 I think is clearly not RC. #614569 would have been good to fix 
for jessie, but I personally have basically no time available at the 
moment. I can't provide a well-tested fix before the 5th, sorry.

Other facts about #614569 are that it has been around for two upgrade 
cycles already, and that it can be worked around by editing the postinst 
to add -s to the slapadd invocation and running 'dpkg --configure -a' to 
retry the upgrade.

Unless someone else wants to prepare and upload a fix in the next couple 
of days, I'll fix it in unstable later and then propose it for a point 
release of jessie. I'm also monitoring some lmdb issues being worked on 
upstream, in case some of the patches turn out to be suitable for a 
point release.

I doubt this was the answer you hoped for; sorry for that.

thanks,
Ryan
