Not at package config time, IMHO. PLEASE add a "do not fucking create
anything right now, I will configure slapd manually later" possibility.
Every time I am setting up a real directory service, I have to go, fix the
slapd.conf file a lot, create entries there for various directories using
different filesystem places (I have more than one root in the server), and
so on. I certainly would appreciate less debconf annoyance.

What about those of us who do not want the simple-minded setup the configure
scripts can do, and instead need something far more complex?

SASL 2!!! (Which means everything that uses sasl1 gets the boot on the ass
in unstable, btw. That means postfix and sendmail and other MTAs should
switch to SASL2 along with their recompile to use openldap 2.1...). But
this should finally get us out of the "use deprecated and dangerous libs or
face terrible segfaults" era as far as SASL is concerned...
