Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: slapd

More information in this thread : http://www.openldap.org/lists

The ssf matching is broken on gnutls with openldap 2.4
(http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200802/msg00072.html).  At
the highest cypher the reported ssf is 32 which seems a stark contrast
to the 256 that is reported by the same cypher at the same bit strength
using openssl.  The debian project has made its stance on linking to
gnutls for openldap.  Ubuntu is not so strict with the purity of the
tree (some gpl code is linked to bsd code a few random places), is there
any way the Ubuntu team could link this to openssl - or better yet ask
Canonical to get a ruling from their lawyers as to the validity of the
Debian project's choice on the matter?

I am half tempted to check security on this as it breaks a large piece
of the encryption enforcement, but since it breaks it in an obvious way
and provides the user no false sense of security I will forgo it.
