If you don't have any useful responses to this bug (for example, linking

I guess our definitions of "useful" differ. I'm offering advice that will
allow the end user to have a working server. That, to me, is useful.
The maintainers of distribution packages in distributions like Debian do
intend for them to be used in production use, and openldap is no
exception. Otherwise, we wouldn't bother making the packages in the
first place.
Funny. I suggest you read the FAQ I linked to. It was written for a
reason *by* one of the Debian maintainers of the OpenLDAP package. And I
also linked to the changelog, which lists all the variety of fixes to
OpenLDAP since 2.4.31 was released 1.5 years ago.
If Debian could keep a current build available to its users, then maybe I
wouldn't have to constantly advise people not to use the Debian package.
But as it stands, what Debian provides is not usable for a production
service, and it should be avoided at all cost.
