Correction, wlus needs data prefilled in ldap, wlus should not need
that. In fact, if you find that it needs prefilled data in ldap, then
please file a bug report against lwat, using reportbug.

Filling data into a DB is not a violation, editing slapd.conf _is_ a
violation. As far as I know, cipux does both, so does debian-edu-config.
I'm not sure if it's possible to remove the configuration from
slapd.conf and having slapd still working (I dont rememer if I've ever
tested this.)

Again, lwat dont need this, and if you install lwat on a normal
installation, and you find that it wont work, please file a bug against
lwat.

Correct.
