Bug Description

I would like to use the script 'slappasswd' from the ldapscripts package.

Unfortunately, this package depends on the following packages - libpam-ldap, libnss-ldap, slapd, ldap-utils, sharutils

Some of these I definitely don't want to install on a server (just yet), namely libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap.

Would it be better if this package was marked as a dependency, or recommended from these packages instead?

slapd, ldap-utils, sharutils

Could any of the above packages be removed, and ldapscripts still be useful?
