I did not have a "package solution" in mind, but a scenario like this:
Some one is reporting problems with the current version.
It could be advisable to exchange the binary with a recently built one
(subject to experienced admins who run backups) to see if it makes a
difference.

As for Mozilla's nightlys: The Linux versions at least are just tar archives
that you can unpack and run from any directory. I didn't examine OpenLDAP
whether it can (easily) be run from any sub-directory tree, however...
