Debian, and by extention, debian based distros, have always maintained that debconf shall be the way that conf shall be done. It's more a debconf limitation than anything else.

The problem, as with anything to do with LDAP, is in the details. > For Ubuntu, which I really want to use as a replacement for my RedHat > servers and move to LTSP 5 from 4.2, I have now tried the install 3 times > and just the install has behaved differently each time.

Otherwise, you're leaving conf files about, and debconf will be trying to re-use perhaps incorrectly set up configs. Getting you nowhere fast.
