At first glance this sounds like an invalid configuration. Assuming the 
messages are accurate, slapadd is correct in refusing to add entries 
that are outside of the configured suffix. Basically I expect this to be 
a duplicate of #546368. Do you think that's correct?

The good news is, if that's the case, then if you edit 
/var/backups/slapd-2.4.31-1+nmu2/dc=koumbit,dc=org.ldif and remove the 
offending entries, retrying the upgrade with 'apt-get -f install' should 
succeed.

thanks,
Ryan
