The Debian build of OpenLDAP is old, links to a potentially insecure SSL implementation, and has a variety of known bugs present in it that are known to affect replication, particularly multi-master.

Would you mind to provide me more details about the bugs and potential problems of using Debian packages? I'm not putting your statements in doubt, I just need to have solid and documented arguments to convince my boss that this extra work is really needed.
Thanks in advance for your help!
