asserts and manadatory build instructions (was ITS#8240)

Maybe I missed something. But this is the first time I've heard about -DNDEBUG
being mandatory when compiling binary packages for production use. Does it
have other effects?
And what are general rules for assert statements in OpenLDAP code?
In my own (Python) code assert statements are supposed to be only triggered if
something goes wrong *internally* (type issues etc.). If somebody manages to
trigger an assert statement with invalid input from "outside" I always
consider this to be a serious bug revealing insufficient error handling even
though e.g. web2ldap just logs the exception but won't crash. YMMV, but please
clarify.
I also wonder whether there are more mandatory rules for building packages and
where I can find them.
Please don't get me wrong: My inquiry is in good faith to avoid unnecessary
ITS based on misunderstanding.
Ciao, Michael.

A note about this revised patch - accesslog uses op->o_time/op->o_tincr to
generate its RDNs. We actually have a problem here in that microsecond
resolution may no longer be adequate. Back in January I was on site with a
customer whose 64-core server was hitting ~1 million queries/sec. Granted,
that was with syslog and accesslog disabled; with logging enabled we're far
more limited.
Very soon we're going to need higher resolution when logging is enabled.
