There's an open request (for a long time) for a backport in Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/685748

A backport should address the question of DB format upgrades when going
from release to release. The technique currently used, checking the
version of the package being upgraded, will fail if a newer package is
backported to an older release (with an older DB library) and then
upgraded (because it will already be newer than what the version check
looks for). I don't have a good idea for addressing that. (Backporting
from Utopic to Trusty is probably safe, as long as they have the same
libdb version.)

Backporting openldap in Ubuntu is time-consuming because the procedure
calls for every single reverse dependency to be verified. See for
example the list in a previous attempt:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968612

The LTB project provides deb packages of the most recent sources, built
according to upstream's recommendations. If you're currently just
building and installing unmodified upstream sources, those might save
you some time. http://ltb-project.org/
