You don't have to, and I wouldn't consider LDAP subservient to anything:
if you create an account in LDAP that exists on Salsa, when the Salsa
user wants a guest account or to become DD, we'll ask them to rename
their Salsa account because the LDAP one is already taken.

The idea is to leave DSA free to implement whatever policy they want and
manage their LDAP namespaces as they see fit. When people want to create
accounts in them, they adapt according to the rules DSA sets.
nm.debian.org tries to validate as much as possible according to those
rules, to make thinks smoother. What we can't validate, we deal with it
on a case by case basis.

This is pretty much what what happens today: DSA gets to refuse (and
does refuse) account names arbitrarily without providing explanations
even when we ask, and we suck it up and deal with it. This is not
something we outside DSA can change, and it's not something I expect
will change.
