No problem, thanks for asking.  I agree, it's no different than python-ldap
and ldap3 and it's not a co-installability issue.  This is just a policy
for Ubuntu main.  If we file a Main Inclusion Request (MIR) for a new ldap
client then we'll be asked to work on what's needed to get the other client
package out of main, which consists of patching use of one client for the
other.
