What do you mean by "hidden" file?  Do you mean a dotfile (filename begins
with ".")?

Since there is obviously a workaround for this problem, and since the
maintainer scripts handle upgrades for normal use cases of /var/lib/ldap
just fine (it is not normal to create extra files in /var/lib/ldap, a
directory owned by the slapd server), I don't believe this bug should be RC.
