Thanks for the patch and for doing the compile-testing. Unfortunately 
upstream's service file won't work for us as is. The remaining work 
includes (and this is the part I've been procrastinating) extracting 
from the init script the parts that determine the arguments to slapd 
(based on config from /etc/default/slapd, and I think in some cases 
possibly from the slapd config too), and turning that into a slapd 
launcher script that the service will have to invoke.

Thanks for noting this, definitely sounds like something we need to look 
into.

thanks,
