Linux packages with Mozilla LDAP

I've been searching in Debian & Ubuntu and wasn't able to find a package 
with the Mozilla LDAP library. Is one available? If not, any particular 
historical reason why not?

(I can build the library, but I'd like to build an unrelated package 
which in turn depends on the Mozilla LDAP library so it would be most 
convenient if I can point at a package dependency to fulfill that need.)

Thanks..
