As documentation of how this is being handled, Wookey and I discussed this problem at Extremadura. The current fix is suboptimal (Emdebian patches gconf to simply not provide the libldap2-dev build-dependency) but there are a few issues that come out of this: 1. It would be better if gconf upstream supported a --disable-ldap option to configure rather than auto-detecting ldap (this complicates building inside and outside chroots). Thankfully, gconf is the only package currently in Emdebian that needs libldap-dev so it is not an actual problem, just an important theoretical one. 2. Emdebian needs to use DEB_VENDOR support and debian/control substitution / patches to create a libgconf-noldap2-4 library or something similar. i.e. the package name does need to change to indicate that the cross-built library lacks the ldap symbols or applications that expect to find those symbols in libgconf2-4 will crash in Emdebian.
