Hi. Thanks again for your suggestion to improve the debconf variable
names.
I agree with you that the names could be better, but I decided it's not
worth breaking existing setups over.
I'm marking this wontfix, but will keep it in mind in case the debconf
scripts are reworked in the future, if there could be an opportunity to
improve the variable names.
As far as the variable descriptions, the canonical location where they
live is in the source package:
https://sources.debian.org/src/openldap/stable/debian/slapd.templates
https://sources.debian.org/src/openldap/stable/debian/po/
You can also find those templates in /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.templates
after installing the package. Please also feel free to write to the
team mailing list (pkg-openldap-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org) if you
have any questions about the variables or how they are used.
thanks,
Ryan
