I'm not responsible for the Ubuntu package (I'm upstream) so can't
comment on that part but the implementation of the validnames option in
the 0.8 series is here:
  http://arthurdejong.org/viewvc/nss-pam-ldapd/?revision=1411&view=revision
with another small change here:
  http://arthurdejong.org/viewvc/nss-pam-ldapd/?revision=1419&view=revision

Another option would be to just allow the slash in nslcd/common.c.

If Ubuntu is considering updating this package in their LTS release
anyway it may also be a good idea to look at all the other things that
have been fixed in the 0.7 series. Quite a few bugs were fixed and
Debian ships 0.7.13 in stable which is much better tested than 0.7.2.

Thanks,
