(Full disclosure: Geoff Crompton is a co-worker of mine who I started
bugging to use sudo w/ldap)

I've built and put in to production a sudo-ldap package, and without the
entry in /etc/ldap.conf it's indistinguishable from normal use, so
except for the added dependency on libldap2 I see no reason not to use
it. In talking with Jeff Waugh (Canonical etc.) earlier this week he
mentioned that the additional dependency would be irrelevent, and as
gnupg depends on libldap2 any etch/sid system using apt signatures it
will already be installed on almost every system.

eg: (just from those installed on one system)
* apache2
* samba
* sasl
* subversion
* gnupg

So given that without the specific adding of the sudoers_* options in
/etc/ldap.conf the sudo package has no visible changes I see no need to
build two packages.

The following files from the sudo source package should also be
installed if ldap is enabled:
* sudoers2ldif
* README.LDAP

Thanks,
Julien
