The OpenLDAP project has for many years used BerkeleyDB as its high performance back end database. However, for a number of reasons, it has been found to be less than optimal. In response, the OpenLDAP primary developer wrote new database software using an API modeled after BDB's to make migration for OpenLDAP and other projects using BDB significantly easier. I was thinking it would be nice to add support for MDB as an alternative to BDB in amavis as well.

Some information on testing of MDB with OpenLDAP:
