Again: this is a decision the development team made. It's not because it's free, it's because they chose one particular mode of development. I'm not saying it's wrong, necessarily, but it drives a lot of people -- like me -- to look for alternatives. Right now, the system pretty much works, despite the fact that I'm using and older version (2.4.7-6Ubuntu3). The problem, for me, is that if I write to this list with a problem, I'll be told no one can help me unless I rebuild from scratch. So far, it's been easier to work around problems or look for help in the Ubuntu forums.
I don't see whay you should blame the OpenLDAP developpers if Ubuntu/RH/Suse/Whateverix don't provide updated packages...
Or may be they just need people to compile and test the latest packages to add them in their distro.
You can volunteer, of course.
