Inherently no, because they would not be configured/built along with the
rest of the package.  Of course, as soon as users (possibly including
myself) notice issues, they would be maintained (see for example nssov).

The most straightforward way of having it routinely built is to place it
in slapd/overlays/; I guess this needs consensus from the rest of the
team.  I'd vote in favor; please holler.
