this is true for ppm parameters, not for password policy parameters.
Especially, pwdCheckModule does not have default values.

I don't think ppolicy can guess any extension path... Neither in 2.4 nor in
2.5.

These parameters can evolve while OpenLDAP is running. As I explained before,
it is the responsability of the admin to ensure the pwdCheckModule parameter is
set accordingly.

slapd can't know any requirement about a given extended module.
