what's the status on this? Having slapi-dev in buster would save me at

Thanks for the ping. I have not had much time for working on the
openldap package lately but I have noted this on my list of things to
look at on my upcoming vacation. I understand it would be good to have
this in buster.
As I understand, you are already using the proposed patch (re-adding
slapi-dev) in your own builds? If you're confident the built package
works, you are welcome to NMU (or team-upload :-)) the addition.
The things I would want do before uploading myself are:
- figure out what the "discussion with ftp-master" referenced in the
2.4.7-2 changelog was about and determine whether further follow-up is
needed;
- check for file collisions with other packages (389-ds uses slapi, I'm
not sure whether public headers/libs are installed); and
- build and test some kind of example SLAPI module to convince myself
the slapi-dev package is functional.
(hmm, shouldn't the package properly be called libslapi-dev?)
Thanks
Ryan
