If "they" still stick to old python versions, then they should probably
use an old python-ldap as well.  I'd rather like to see a recent 
python-ldap implementation using a recent python interpreter and recent 
openldap libraries.

python-ldap is not only used on Debian Woody so please keep this in mind 
as well when you'll decide...
