Hi,
Debian Policy ยง6.1 says: "Programs called from maintainer scripts should
not normally have a path prepended to them.", so I think changing this
in slapd would be wrong. That section does not explicitly say what we
can assume PATH is; but I would consider /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
to be a minimal sane PATH.

a few issues with the root user. postsuper in postfix also needs /sbin help.
One note about that: when becoming root, I'd recommend using "su -" or
"sudo -i" rather than just "su" or "sudo -s", in order to get your
environment variables (such as PATH) reset, if you don't have /usr/sbin
in your regular user's PATH.
I hope this helps. I'm closing this bug now as it's not a bug in the
openldap package. If you need further support with fixing your
environment, please contact the user support channels, such as the
debian-user mailing list.
