The Debian package already enables that option, but it also still has to 
be explicitly enabled in your configuration. Did you do that?

slapd.conf(5) setting:
reverse-lookup on

slapd-config(5) setting:
olcReverseLookup: TRUE

With the slapd package from wheezy and either of those settings applied, 
using a domain in hosts.allow works properly for me.

thanks,
Ryan
