Package: slapd
Severity: normal

Yesterday I upgraded from slapd 2.1 to version 2.2. I was asked where I
wanted to store the database dump. However I misinterpreted the question,
the "VERSION" hint made me think that I was asked for a filename template
within an already existing directory. Later I realized that I was asked for
a directory name only, without the filename part.

So I want to change the directory location to which the backups are made
but I did not find any other way than calling dpkg-reconfigure, which is
kind of cumbersome since I do not want to set the other options again (such
as passwords or organization name etc).

So it would be really nice when those options could be set via a shell
snippet in /etc/default, or alternatively the slapd/dump_database_destdir
setting is asked each time when an upgrade is performed (which would make
sense anyway since free space on the partitions is probably subject to
change). Calling "db_fset slapd/dump_database_destdir seen false || true"
after the database upgrade has been finished would probably be enough to
solve this problem.

Thanks for your effort,
Thomas
