No, draft-zeilenga-ldup-sync-02.txt:
  Possible uses include:
    ...
    - Lightweight master-slave replication between heterogeneous
      directory servers.  For example, the Sync operation can
      be used by a slave server to maintain a shadow copy of a
      DIT fragment.

This use has the same basic content synchronization requirements
as what draft-ietf-ldup-lcup-05.txt describes as:
   Applications intending to synchronize heterogeneous data stores.
