I agree, why not? I do. :P But this isn't necessarily an argument for
compiling from source. It is an argument against using Debian's
packaged releases since they are inadequate. There are other packages
of OpenLDAP that keep current.
Don't be so hard on them or any other distro. For you, it's just
openldap. For them, it's openldap + libldap + liblber and TONS of other
packages that depend on those. Distros are wary about upgrading because
of that, and openldap has already changed the API once during a minor
upgrade (please note I'm not complaining).
The argument of "install openldap somewhere else where its libraries
won't be seen by the other programs" doesn't work for a distro. It works
for you, for me or for a company providing (open)ldap services, but not
for a distro.
