Thanks, so for kolab-ldap I know now ;-)

This means python-ldap isn't built at all? 

Ok, I understand:

# apt-cache policy python-ldap
python-ldap:
  Installiert:           2.4.10-1
  Installationskandidat: 2.4.10-1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 2.4.10-1 0
        500 http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

the python-ldap is used from regulary debian repos. It's even newer than 
python-ldap-2.4.6.tar.gz  on obs. Is there any disadvantage using the package 
from the debian repos?
