kerberos at mit.edu is better for questions like this.  Your plan seems
sound, with the proviso that I'm not an expert on OpenLDAP (or whatever
LDAP server you're using; 389ds also works with krb5, and likely
others).  So if there are potential issues with updating the schema, I
wouldn't know about them.  The new schema is indeed a superset of the
old one, with optional attributes added.
