TBD

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

 * Build log (amd64) confirming that the build-time testsuite has been performed and completed successfully:
  - TBD

[ 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.
