[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#650501: slapd headers status

[Ryan Tandy]

Control: forwarded -1 http://www.openldap.org/its/?findid=8982

Update since this came up again in IRC:

slapd.h, portable.h, and other generated headers such as config.h are 
"private and subject to change without notice" [ITS#7283]. IMO that 
makes them unsuitable for shipping in a Debian package unless we somehow 
arrange for external builds to have strict dependencies the exact build 
of openldap that provided the header.

The requests for a more public interface for slapd plugins have been 
noted in the past, and raised again now as [ITS#8982].
