As you probably already found, the ldb developement is happening in the samba's
git repository. This is also the case for talloc, tdb and tevent, but those have
very rare security fixes, and the dependency is not tightly coupled as ldb
(samba-dsdb-modules depends on a very specific libldb2 (>> 2:2.2.3~) ,
libldb2 (<< 2:2.2.4~)).
