Given that using cn=config for openldap in lenny gives zero support for
upgrade handling by the package, and cn=config is not used by default, I
don't think we can consider any bugs in cn=config support to be grave for
lenny.

I think it would still be appropriate to try to get this bug fixed for
lenny, though, and would not object to an NMU for it if someone was so
inclined (and if the other co-maintainers don't object), since I know I
don't have time to look at it right now.
