Installing packages which depend on libldap2 with --no-install-recommends will not install the libldap-common package. This may result in unexpected behaviors when libldap2 code paths are triggered due to a missing reference to the trusted CAs certificates, which is defined by the configuration file shipped in libldap-common.
Yes. It's not a great user experience, and while I believe Recommends is technically Policy-compliant, I agree Depends would be preferable.
Since the dak bug affects several other packages, this should, ideally, be fixed in dak.
I am marking this bug as blocked by the dak bug for visibility. Due to the severe consequences when the issue occurs (many packages become BD-Uninstallable due to transitive build-dependencies on libldap, requiring a manual bootstrap upload of openldap to resolve), I cannot accept the patch until _after_ dak has been fixed.
