AFAIK the OpenLDAP project does not guarantee ABI compatibility between
different versions of the libraries.

I haven't tried, but I fear there are.
Since emacs, apache2, postfix, samba, squid, kde, .. depend on libldap2 (at
least on some parts) I - personally - would not wand to try it ;-)

ucdata is the directory for unicode data.
Although it did not change from 2.1.30 to 2.2.23 you have to deal with
it in a way that only one package provides it at a time.
I have written my private debs for OL 2.2.23 that are based on those be Turbo
Frederiksen and should deal with with the compatiblity issues.
The source package is called openldap2.2 and it generates the binary packages:
* ldap-utils replaces the 2.1.30 ldap-utils
* libldap2.2 the base for OL 2.2, allows coexistence with libldap2
* libldap2.2-data provides ucdata in case libldap2 is not installed
* libldap2.2-dev development files for libldap2.2
* libslapd2.2-dev equivalent to libslapd2-dev
* slapd replaces the 2.1.30 slapd
using db4.2 and openssl.
I am generating my own 2.2 packages now since 2.2.18 and never had any
problems related to this packaging.
I have attached my Debianization patch to this mail.
To create the packages you need to:
- have a copy of the openldap-2.2.23.tar.gz file named
openldap2.2-2.2.23.orig.tar.gz in the parent directory of
your openldap-2.2.23/ directory
- extract the unpacked patch in the openldap-2.2.24 directory
- call 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sd'

PS: Since OL 2.2 uses OpenSSL and there are some licensing conflicts
Debian will not include OL 2.2 without modification.
I do not exactly understand why since OpenSSL is part of Debian
and is used in many other projects that are in Debian too.
The solution would be to adapt OL2.2 to gnuTLS.
