The package ldap-rest is placed in package section "javascript" which
from its package description seems wrong: Package section is not about
the implementation language but the user-facing usage scope.

Please change debian/control file to use a more proper package section
(look for other LDAP tools for inspiration), and when done inform the
archive team so they can refresh the central package metadata cache.

Thanks for the report. I took a look at other tools, maybe "net" could
be the best (like OpenLDAP)?

Sounds good to me :-)

OpenLDAP *provides* a network service, and is in section "net".

ldap2dns is a CLI tool *interacting* with network services, and is in
section "admin".

Is ldap-rest mainly a network service or mainly a CLI tool?

role is to maintain consistency between OpenLDAP and other servers (like
Apache-James) and also consistency inside OpenLDAP data.

Arch: no more write access to LDAP servers (except ldap-rest), all
change operations are done via it using REST APIs

So I think "net" is better that "util" or "admin" here
