I think I got it.

https://salsa.debian.org/mjt/ldb  (and the corresponding git tree etc)
is the cloned ldb repository with my import of v2.5.0. It should be
ready to be uploaded (when samba is ready too).  Please take a look.

I don't think making a MR is practical, since the work includes changes
in several branches (pristine-tar too), and these branches are tied
together.

Maybe it is a good idea to put it into experimental first (instead of
unstable), but let me to deal with samba first.

Now, for 4.16 version, we only need the "new" ldb, other library
packages are okay already.

Thanks,
