Regardless Samba should always be built with the included ldb.

Recently Debian even patched to stop consuming a 'system' or 'external'
ldb, they just build the internal one and provide the output as an
additional package.

As a Samba build strictly requires exactly the same version as the one
in the samba tarball, it makes no sense to pretend ldb is provided from
elsewhere.

I may finally revive my MR to do this upstream, I think folks finally
realise that the 'independent ldb' idea is just a pile of pain for
packagers, without enough useful benefits.
