this mail has not been sent by me. to the person who forged it:

even if many distros leave their users out in the rain and save
money by not providing a smooth upgrade path, debian does try to

it to the newer, stricter and more standards-compliant openldap
2.1 format, made by the responsible debian maintainers.
