I'm running Postfix 2.3.8 in a Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (Etch) box. I want
it to support LDAP but I don't know what would happen if I install the
postfix-ldap package via apt-get because of this:

# apt-get install --just-print postfix-ldap
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libpcre3 postfix postfix-pcre

It says it would also install the postfix package, I don't know if it
would affect my already working configuration or not.

My other option is to reinstall it from source using:

# make makefiles CCARGS="-I/usr/local/include -DHAS_LDAP" \
    AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lldap -L/usr/local/lib -llber"
# make
# make install

But I don't know if this would have also bad effects on my existing
postfix installation. What would be the proper way to do this?
