ah, ok

OpenLDAP 2.1.30:
svn co http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-openldap/openldap/trunk-2.1

OpenLDAP 2.2.x
svn co http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-openldap/openldap/trunk-2.2

OpenLDAP 2.3.x
svn co http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-openldap/openldap/trunk-2.3

2.3 is in the svn repositories but is not yet uploaded. If we are going
to replace OpenLDAP 2.2 in unstable with the 2.3 series then we need to
remove the development packages so that no one can compile against it by
accident until the gnutls patch arrives of course.
