While python-ldap is strict dependency of IPA in downstreams, it
is optional for IPA packages published on PyPI.
Openldap 2.6 no longer ships ldap_r-2, that makes
ipapython.dn_ctypes not working against such environments.
Thanks @abbra!

libldap_r.so is only available in the OpenLDAP development packages. The
openldap package provides libldap_r-*.so.2.

python-ldap is a Python package with heavy C extensions. In order to
build python-ldap, not only OpenLDAP development headers are necessary,
but also OpenSSL, Cyrus SASL, and MIT KRB5 development headers.
A fully functional ipaclient doesn't need an LDAP driver. It talks JSON
RPC over HTTPS to a server. python-ldap is only used by ipapython.dn.DN
to convert a string to a DN with ldap_str2dn(). The function is simple
and can be wrapped with ctypes in a bunch of lines.
