I would think that Les was thinking what I was:  If you supply a
distribution with specific LDAP and mail software, that you'd also
supply the bits that allowed them to work together, particularly your
flagship products.

e.g. Configurations to suit using LDAP with Evolution, kmail,
Thunderbird, etc.

You can't really expect Evolution, et al, to supply it, because they
don't know what LDAP server you've included.
