[Background information]
Build dependency for keystone. Drop in replacement for python-ldap that has python3 support.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

So we already have python-ldap in main. And a python-ldap3 MIR bug 1634535 trying to replace python-ldap. Do we really need another? Can you switch keystone to use python-ldap3?

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

I like that this uses libldap2 instead of reinventing it in python (like python-ldap3 wanted to do). And is a continuation of python-ldap. So no need for a security review.

Blockers:
- The packaging doesn't seem to run the tests correctly. See [1] and search for "Ran 0 tests"

Non-blockers:
- Should fix the lintian warning "python-pyldap-doc: unused substitution variable ${sphinxdoc:Built-Using}"

Otherwise, it seemed fine. Very new package, not much history.

I added the tests through autopkgtest it neeeds to have slapd installed.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

still in universe. is this still needed?

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

This is still important for supporting keystone integration with LDAP.

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

It looks like I spoke too soon. According to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886847 and https://github.com/pyldap/pyldap, the pyldap fork has been merged back into python-ldap.
