Removing the existing backup first isn't easy enough?
If you can guarantee us that the name of the folder we would need to
delete is always /var/backups/unknown-2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u1.ldapdb -even
in future package updates- that is a possibility.
However would prefer not to make assumptions like that :-)
There is a preseed option (slapd/dump_database_destdir) to change the
backup directory the database dump goes to, but that doesn't seem to
affect the directory the old folder is moved to.
Oh, really? If I understand you correctly, that sounds like a second
bug - not respecting destdir for that location?
It is respecting it for the destination of the database dump.
But in addition to making a database dump, it also wants to move the
original folder to /var/backups, and I do not see any option to change
that destination.

Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/just-testing... done.
Moving old database directory to /var/backups:
Backup path /var/backups/unknown-2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u1.ldapdb exists.
Giving up...
