Package: libpam-ldap
Version: 178-1sarge1
Severity: wishlist
Based on bug report #312284, I've constructed a patch for libpam-ldap to
provide a similar change. The patch switches the debconf from
configuring a host directive to a uri. I've tested the provided patch
and it appears to work without error.
