Then they should be installable. (I happen to run Debian, and in my 
experience, packages generally install right out of the box and work as 
advertised.)

I also found a libpam-ldap package, which means Debian supports LDAP in 
PAM. In that case, you wouldn't need php-ldap unless you want to write 
to LDAP from PHP.

Good to know that the options are there - I might want to install them :-)

Likely. Debian is rather conservative, so when a package is included it, 
it's already been in most other distributions for a while.
