My hope is 4.6 will be out long before lenny.  It is the first release
since BDB 4.2 that I've seen actually outperform 4.2 across the board.
4.4  & 4.5 were both noticeably slower in read & write tests.

Is performance the only problem with 4.4 and 4.5 for OpenLDAP?  If so, I
think the BDB maintainers would be well within their rights to ask for
removal of 4.2 from unstable anyway, even if 4.6 weren't on the horizon.

Well, if high performance is a critical factor to an LDAP service, this is a severe issue. Yes, that is the only problem I've encountered with 4.4 and 4.5. Is it enough of an issue I would avoid it? Yes, it is. What Debian and its BDB maintainers choose to do about it depends, I guess, on whether or not they understand why that would be an issue for users or if it matters so much to them.
