Well, the build dependency is on "libldap2-dev". I never digged into
all this so it's very needed to extend this question to other
maintainers of the samba package.

It is indeed strange that we build depend on libldap2-dev, which is
the 2.1.* version of LDAP stuff.

However, the openldap2.3 package which seems to be the recent LDAP
stuff, does not provide any -dev package. I wonder what I'm missin
ghere but without any doubt Steve will have the answer..:-)
