because the LDAP contact internally is just modelled as a pair of a
name and a SIP phone number.  That would first have to be extended to
loop through the information into Linphone's internal contact data
structures.

Until that gets added a work-around could be to use a Rewrite/Remap
overlay[0] and append the value of 'o' to 'cn' on-the-fly.  This way
the 'o' value would at least show up somewhere.
