The problem is that the debconf configuration tries to balance
configuration ease with complexity. As such, it only tries to enable
most common, relatively simple configurations out of the box.

The problem with configuring TLS further through debconf is that it is
not always clear whether to use tls_cacertfile or tls_cacertdir should
be used. I believe it depends on which TLS library is linked to
OpenLDAP.

Note that the text for the reqcert configuration step already explains
adding tls_cacertdir or tls_cacertfile.

If anyone is willing to develop a patch to further configure TLS, I'll
gladly review and integrate it.

Thanks,
