I need to check (it's not under my control; will ask and report).
In any case, the code in back-ldap would need to be modified to allow
config selecting what version of the control to send. As soon as we can
obtain the desired effect, each option is fine for me. In any case,
we'll need to find a solution but, for the sake of generality and to
reduce the maintenance burden, I'd prefer whatever solution to merge
into mainstream code (as much as we can consider mainstream a
specialized backend).
