Package: slapd Severity: normal During the upgrade from slapd version 2.1 to 2.2 I noticed that the configuration file /etc/ldap/slapd.conf is altered. It is a nice feature to have the configuration altered to match a new slapd version (kudos to the implementor), it works really well.
However I was shocked that the configuration was altered without making a backup. Since OpenLDAP is the integral part in bigger installations having easy access to the original configuration file would be... uhm... handy in case anything goes wrong (such as an error in the perl script ;) The Debian policy states that maintainer scripts must "not overwrite or otherwise mangle the user's configuration without asking", so I think making a backup copy would be a good idea.
