I believe that "not having 2 different entities in the system, that do the same thing" is the good rule. So maybe, leaving libldap.so(a) in /usr/lib is not an absolutely good decision. But renaming libldap to some other name and leaving it there (and enforcing everything beside the base system to use almost the same ports' libldap) is probably much more worse. So, after all, I'd prefer to leave libldap (and nss_ldap, which can also conflict with PADL's nss_ldap) as is and let users use WITHOUT_LDAP and WITHOUT_NSS_LDAP when appropriate.
