Debian slapd package apparently use above configuration style since 
2.4.23-3.

I recommend to generally only use configuration styles actively 
supported by Debian packaging (no matter if other styles are supported 
upstream).

In this case I therefore agree (and suspect there no real choice) that 
Debian-Edu/Skolelinux should switch to use the new configuration style 
for Squeeze.
