Description quanah.gibsonmount 2023-06-28 18:24:57 UTC 
The current sudo package does not separate out ldap functionality into its own package, forcing the installation of the "openldap" package onto systems unnecessarily.  It would be better to follow the superior debian strategy of making a separate package "sudo-ldap" for those who need to integrate with LDAP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install sudo
2. See openldap package forced in as a requirement.
3.


Expected Results:  
It should be possible to install sudo without having the 'openldap' package installed.

There's no reason for everyone to have to install the openldap package purely because sudo was installed.
