Note however that this schema is not exactly what that PGP LDAP
keyserver follows.  This is a different schema, intended for storing
keys in a regular standalone LDAP server, rather than the PGP LDAP
keyserver product.  This new schema is not yet fully supported in
GnuPG.

If you want to duplicate the LDAP keyserver schema, the URL you cited
on the OpenLDAP site is a good place to start.  Also, read the code
for gpgkeys_ldap ;)
