(ldb-tools being a binary package built by the ldb source package,
maintained by Jelmer himself)

If I understand well, the ldb package is code from the Samba4
development tree.

Is the ldb/tools code in samba 3.2 source tree the same codebase? 


Can we guarantee our users that they can safely use these ldb tools
with Samba 3.2 and they will be able to do so during lenny's life?

I'm perfectly fine with just suggesting ldb-tools as long as we can
guarantee the above. Otherwise, we'll need to package the LDB stuff
from samba 3.2 source tree separately and make the relevant package
conflict with ldb-tools (which might be tricky if this is
samba-common).
