[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#794999: RFC: addition of slapd-contrib binary package

[Ryan Tandy]

Hi pkg-openldap-devel readers,

I just pushed a branch "slapd-contrib" to salsa and am posting it now 
for feedback. It addresses the wishlist bugs #592362 and #794999.

https://salsa.debian.org/openldap-team/openldap/compare/master...slapd-contrib

I added a new binary package called slapd-contrib. Initially it contains 
pw-apr1, pw-netscape, pw-pbkdf2, and smbk5pwd. The existing 
slapd-smbk5pwd package is replaced and becomes an empty transitional 
package.

In buster+1 I would probably add more modules such as nssov, but for now 
I kept it to the ones explicitly requested via bugs.

At this time I have no plans to move autogroup, lastbind, and pw-sha2 to 
slapd-contrib as there is no way to handle that upgrade sanely.

I verified with debdiff(1) that the slapd package contains the same 
files before and after these changes. I tested the smbk5pwd replacement 
when upgrading within sid, and when upgrading from stretch to buster.

I am still hoping to include these changes in buster. I will probably 
proceed with an RFS within a week if there are no comments.

thanks,
Ryan
