I don't have a copy of the source at hand, but according to the ticket log it  
probably landed in 2.4.36, so Jessie package should be ok.

Generally speaking, as we have just entered the freeze, I would encourage you 
and anybody reading this mail to give a try to Jessie and openldap 2.4.40-2 in 
a staging environment with your production-like config, in order to catch any 
glitches before release.

It is my understanding that the -2 package currently in Jessie won't be the 
final one, as we are still collecting translations. It would probably make 
sense to let -3 in jessie first and then backport that one to wheezy bpo.

Speaking of that, I've also been asked at work for a wheezy bpo, so I'm 
interested on backporting/sponsoring it as soon as I have a timeslot for it.

Unfortunately I've just rotated my key and haven't performed any bpo upload in 
the meanwhile, so I suspect I have to ask and wait for a bpo-keyring update 
with my new key before proceeding.

Cheers, Luca
