Backup should be in /var/backups, the scripts always tries to move the
existing content to /var/backups.

You have 2 directories:
 - /var/lib/ldap
 - /var/lib/ldap/accesslog

The openldap scripts move everything inside a directory defined in the
openldap configuration to a backup directory, hence the removal of
accesslog at that location.

About fixing this:
Change the accesslog directory in the configuration to:
directory /var/lib/ldap-accesslog

Create that directory and rerun the upgrade procedure.
