Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-7.2
Severity: normal
README.Debian.gz mentions obsolete note about GnuTLS and OpenSSL:
Finally, note that the Debian OpenLDAP packages have been compiled
against GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL to avoid licensing problems for
GPL-covered packages that use the LDAP libraries. This is a supported
configuration, but it's not widely used outside of Debian.
Since 2.2.23-0.pre1 slapd is build against OpenSSL.

I don't believe the added maintenance burden of such packaging would be
acceptable, but perhaps the comaintainers disagree.
