[ Impact ]

 * MRE for the latest stable OpenLDAP 2.5.x release, 2.5.12.

This update includes bugfixes only following the SRU policy exception defined at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/OpenLDAPUpdates.

[ Major Changes ]

 * See the list of bugs fixed in this release here:

https://<email address hidden>/thread/LSEQKADYZFFMZJGPEVBRR3OVOY4IOGRA/

[ Test Plan ]

 * Upstream gitlab pipeline results: https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/pipelines/4298

 * Upstream "call for testing": https://<email address hidden>/thread/5ZJEOQSVFQBG5TRLAAF6S5M3VRJH5IAV/

 * As described in the MRE wiki page for OpenLDAP, the test plan is to build the package in bileto and make sure that (1) all build-time tests pass and (2) all autopkgtest runs (from reverse dependencies) also pass.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * Upstream tests are always executed during build-time. There are many reverse dependencies whose dep8 tests depend on OpenLDAP so the coverage is good. Nevertheless, there is always a risk for something to break since we are dealing with a microrelease upgrade. Whenever a test failure is detected, we will be on top of it and make sure it doesn't affect existing users.

 * This is a reoccurring MRE. See below for previous MRE's links.
