Thanks for that report, I'll try to get something done about it this 
weekend.

Thank you very much for the kind offer!

First, you can subscribe to this list so I don't have to manually let 
your mails through. :)

The bug list at https://bugs.debian.org/src:openldap has several entries 
that could benefit from some attention. #614569, #770890, #546368, 
#757550, #759597 are a few examples of bugs that are waiting for someone 
to work on them.

Besides the bug list, I think a trip through NEW is going to be needed 
sooner or later (#330695, also I'm working on packaging more contrib 
modules in a new binary package), so we should be prepared for that. I 
think the remaining lintian errors just need appropriate overrides now, 
but I want to do a bit of a copyright review, and was considering moving 
to a DEP-5 copyright file at the same time.

thanks,
Ryan
