I had the same issue and it was possible to work around by changing the password generation method.
In /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.conf change to PASSWORDGEN="pwgen" and apt-get install pwgen. I'm sure other methods may work.
It would seem that the default password gen
PASSWORDGEN="cat /dev/random | LC_ALL=C tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c8"
causes the hang for me.
