extra package python-ldap needs dev package dependencies

[ReimarBauer]

This is a documentation task

For installing python-ldap we need further dependencies, on debian, ubuntu:

libldap2-dev
python2.7-dev
libsasl2-dev
libssl-dev

missing dependencies showed as

Different dependencies on different platforms.
On OpenBSD, openldap-client is needed.

There is an os independent pure python ldap client:
ldap3.readthedocs.io

Does it make sense to migrate from python-ldap to ldap3? Then this issue could be postponed to a later milestone.

[RogerHaase]

Sounds good to me. Per the installation instructions:

This library has only one dependence on the pyasn1 module, You can install it or let the installer do it for you.

That should close the issue rather than postpone it.
