OK, since it hung after outputting the line 'Forcing restart' or
whatever, I only see two possibilites here. Either apache2's init
script doesn't properly return to phpldapadmin's postinst (unlikely), or
phpldapadmin's postinst's use of debconf is screwing up apache2's init
script. Boy, that was an ugly sentence, but you get the idea, I hope :)

Or, more likely, the package's postinst does nothing the second time
around :) Forgot - sorry.

Right.

The only thing I can imagine right now is that debconf mucking with
stdin and stdout are hanging the apache2 init script. Try the above
patch to phpldapadmin's postinst, and then run:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/phpldapadmin.postinst configure 0.9.4-10
