Personally I have no objections to simply accept your request. But I'm pretty sure, someone (not me!), has to deal with the fallout. Therefore I wanted to draw some attention to your request.
This change in OpenLDAP 2.5 is scary as it affects most users who run slapd: "Due to database format changes between OpenLDAP 2.4 and OpenLDAP 2.5 it is mandatory for existing slapd-mdb(5) databases to be exported via an OpenLDAP 2.4 slapcat prior to upgrade. They must then be reloaded via an OpenLDAP 2.5 slapadd after the binaries are updated." I think that OpenLDAP 2.4 cannot be replaced by version 2.5. There have to be packages for both versions. At least a statically linked slapcat from version 2.4 has to be provided.
