Surely just re-compiling from new source (and not changing much else), would be a start.
Where upstream bugs have been fixed, it would be an easy win, even where they are not, at
least bugs reported on modern versions can then be addressed.
That document says little, it is a good summary of the situation, but it does not mention
any actual bugs outstanding. I counted maybe 4 people offering help, was that followed up
?
Issues with packaging such as version dependencies or poor choice of versions for
"stable" packages, notwithstanding. Maybe the answer is to leave
"stable" versions of client versions asis, and build a (mostly) self contained
server version, with no legacy library deps.. System tools can stay dependent on the
"stable" versions, the server version can include newer libraries & tools..
no need to invent artificial barriers to progress..

The Debian community is fully aware of the numerous issues with their OpenLDAP package
and acknowledges that it needs work, they have also been asking for help with OpenLDAP for
some time (1878 days according to their "work-needing packages" list):
