I contacted the Debian maintainer (Igor Stroh) a couple of times and had
a reply from him on 8th Apr, 2011 then latest reply on 20th Dec 2011. He
said "I'm willing to RFA the ldap2dns package, no problems here" but
still no further action.

So I've been using my own updated package
(https://github.com/wdaniels/ldap2dns/tree/ubuntu), which I just rebuilt
for precise and separated in a PPA here:

https://launchpad.net/~wdaniels/+archive/ldap2dns

I got in touch with Ben Klang (upstream maintainer) who was very
amenable to helping get this updated in Debian (he quickly fixed a
license issue that I raised) and I contacted Björn Boschman who first
tried to get a NMU done via Debian mentors, he was still willing to help
maintain the package at that time (Apr 2011).

I would gladly help maintain it via the mentors process also, but not
100% sure the best way to move things forward either via Debian or
Ubuntu. If an old version of the package is still in Debian, is it OK to
try to update it via REVU, MOTU?

Probably the updated package still needs work but the original is far
from perfect and I can't invest more time in this until somebody is
willing to mentor and maybe NMU. Hope the PPA version helps someone.
