Interesting. I wonder how it got that way?

Can you confirm by pasting the output of:

grep -Frw 2.5.4.2 /etc/ldap/slapd.d

that it actually occurs twice in your config?

You might have some older config backups in /var/backups/slapd-*; can 
you also check those and see if you can determine in which version it 
was introduced?

What is your upgrade history like for slapd? Were you running 
2.4.44+dfsg-5 and then upgraded to +deb9u1 before this upgrade to 
+deb9u2?

If there is a bug in the package, I would be most suspicious of the 
upgrade path from jessie to stretch...

thanks,
Ryan
