I think the old python-ldap package will still exist and bugfixed =>
the old applications have a properly working module to run with.
BTW: This module also works with Python 2.0 => no problem for
http://db.debian.org/ at all.

Yes, I would prefer that everyone considers the new python-ldap-2.0
(or python-ldap-ext?) to be a completely separate package.
