As always, I have to point out that Recommends are meant to be installed unless you know that you truly don't need them; and that libldap does work without libldap-common, as long as you configure the CA cert setting yourself. Anyway, in trixie and later this should be a non-issue. libldap now uses the system CA certs by default, so the configuration that used to be shipped in libldap-common is no longer needed.
