as i responded to the previous poster i would keep it separated for the
following reasons
- We will need a new version of openldap to include this before jessie,
because fusiondirectory-insert-schema use schema2ldif to help users insert
all kind of schema easily
- An update in schema2ldif would need a new update of openldap
- we could extend it to other directories, 389 comes to my mind
For all those reason i would like to keep it separated
