This seems to be fairly straightforward; convert any /^0x/ in the second field to 00, and zero-pad the third field to two bytes? Luigi, to your question of wanting a workaround for importing the directory, I believe if you make these adjustments to the ldif file under /var/backups by hand, you should be able to continue with the package upgrade.
