Just want to let you know that I am still working on this. On 8.2, your 
patch helps, but doesn't yet do what I want, which is allowing the user 
  to select samba-server or samba-server-ldap (like with apache and 
apache-perl). This is for when we have the samba rpm building both 
normal and ldap RPMs simultaneously (hopefully). I have yet to test this 
on cooker, which is why I haven't got any further.

Unfortunately all this work for ldap in samba-2.2.5 will be wasted once 
3.0 comes out (with run-time configuration of passdb backends).

There is also a patch to samba-2.2.5 that was announced today, which 
must go in, so we need a newer RPM anyway.
