Yes, you got that part right.  And he's molding kellabyte in his own image.

Nicely stated: "A lot more description about what .la does when it's
specified in the openldap config as an extension of the module being
loaded would go a long way.  And an explanation of why it can be
removed after being run once with it present."  I'm not sure if "it"
refers to "the entire line can be dropped" (seems unlikely) or to "the
.la extension can be dropped."
