getaddrinfo-is-threadsafe
OpenLDAP upstream conservatively assumes that certain resolver functions
(getaddrinfo, getnameinfo, res_query, dn_expand) are not re-entrant; but we
know that the glibc implementations of these functions are thread-safe, so
we should bypass the use of this mutex. This fixes a locking problem when
an application uses libldap and libnss-ldap is also used for hosts
resolution.
Closes Debian bug #340601.
Not suitable for forwarding upstream; might be made suitable by adding a
configure-time check for glibc and disabling the mutex only on known
thread-safe implementations.
Document in the man page that slapindex should be run as the same user
as slapd, and print a warning if it's run as root (since Debian defaults
to running slapd as openldap).
Not suitable for upstream in this form. This patch needs to be reworked
to check the BerkeleyDB database ownership and only warn if running as
root with a database that's not owned by root.
Upstream ITS #5356 filed requesting better handling of this. Current
upstream discussion leans towards putting the check into the database
backend and aborting if slapd is run as a different user than the database
owner, which is an even better fix.

Add symbol versioning to the public LDAP libraries. This is required for
library transitions, such as the current transition from 2.1 to 2.4,

Patch from evolution-exchange (2.10.3). The ldap_ntlm_bind function is
actually called by evolution-data-server, checked at version 1.12.2.
Without this patch, the Exchange addressbook integration uses simple binds
with cleartext passwords.
Russ checked with openldap-software for upstream's opinion on this patch
on 2007-12-21. Upstream had never received it as a patch submission and
given that it's apparently only for older Exchange servers that can't do
SASL and DIGEST-MD5, it's not very appealing.
Bug#457374 filed against evolution-data-server asking if this support is
still required on 2007-12-21.

* Fix FTBFS with autoconf 2.71 (Closes: #993032):
- Backport upstream changes to support Autoconf 2.69 instead of simply
disabling automake in debian/rules. Fixes FTBFS due to autoreconf
thinking files required by Automake are missing, even though Automake is
not actually used.
- Stop running autoreconf in contrib/ldapc++ since we don't build it.
- Drop custom config.{guess,sub} handling. dh_update_autotools_config does
the right thing for us.
* Update Standards-Version to 4.6.0; no changes required.
* Add a superficial autopkgtest for smbk5pwd.
* Stop disabling test060-mt-hot on ppc64el. The underlying kernel bug
