FR: Update BASE to 2.5.5

Feature Request for updating the OpenLDAP Base Image to 2.5.5

OpenLDAP recently introduced support for the proxy protocol (v2). This is a major step to host the server on private kubernetes clusters and put a proper LB in front of it.

2.5.x is only available for debian experimental. All docker images are based on buster / buster-backports and the latest version is 2.4.57 for now: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/ldap-utils

I think 2.5.x should be available for at least bullseye to have the potential of a releasable package. I would avoid experimental package.

What about OpenLDAP 2.4.58 where some security patches were introduced ?

Is it possible to build an image for this release with no effort, simply setting the OPENLDAP_PACKAGE_VERSION=2.4.58 within your Dockerfile ?

Doing so, it is raising to me some complaints about not finding 2.4.58* versions:

E: Version '2.4.58*' for 'ldap-utils' was not found
E: Version '2.4.58*' for 'slapd' was not found
E: Version '2.4.58*' for 'slapd-contrib' was not found

the latest version is 2.4.57 for now: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/ldap-utils

So it is not possible to install 2.4.58. We can only update to released packages listed on the page i linked above.
