ldapvi for Debian
-----------------

   Since version 1.6 of ldapvi it is able to link against a libcrypto for
  supporting MD5.  Unfortunately there are some problems with this:  It
  supports both linking it against the openssl and the gnutls libraries.
  The former is out of scope because of the licence incompatibility of it
  with the GPL.  ldapvi author would add linking exception to its licence,
  though it uses libreadline and that one doesn't have the exception.

   The latter though has a more severe problem: The password prompt will be
  displayed in clear text on the screen.  It is yet unknown why, but for the
  time being upstream was so kind to send a patch along to disable libcrypto
  linking all along.
