Yes, I guess mentioned it for posterity.  My info may be stale (I had
to look into it when we first started breaking presumed ABIs in the
modules) but I'm not aware of any others. 

Independent of what Debian does, I also think we should do this
upstsream, stop with the silly idea that ldb is a distinct thing we can
build against.  

If something like OpenChange comes back up, that needs us to build
against a 'system' ldb, and there is no other way around it, it should
be the same version from the same source tree, just installed and then
built against.
