A few other points that hopefully can be worked into the release notes:
* A symptom that indicates the need for this config-file cleanup is when
commands that rely on EXTERNAL SASL authentication no longer work for
the local root user (e.g. "ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -Hldapi:/// ....")
* One can avoid having dpkg abort the installation run by doing the
cleanup before kicking off the upgrade to 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.
* If the cleanup isn't done beforehand, then (in addition to removing the
"localroot" lines), the user will probably want to go ahead and delete any
extra copies of the
olcAccess: {0}to * by
dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth manage by *
break
line that get added to the olcDatabase{0}config.ldif and
oldDatabase{-1}frontend.ldif files if the installation script is run multiple
times. (This can happen automatically; e.g. aptitude will automatically retry
the package install after the first dpkg failure.) The "intended" situation is
to have exactly one copy of that line in each of the files.

olcAccess lines (again)
