I don't have any objections - based on my experience, just libldap2-dev and
dependencies are sufficient for progressing the bootstrap.  On the other
hand, I also have a cyrus-sasl2 bootstrap that also gets rid of
krb5-multidev, libpq-dev, heimdal-multidev, libmysqlclient-dev, libkrb5-dev
Build-Depends in addition to libldap2-dev; so unless you have a drastically
different bootstrapping process that makes those dependencies available, I
don't see it reducing the number of bootstrap builds needed.  I also don't
see your patch removing the openldap Build-Depends on libsasl2-dev.
