That said, I'm not entirely sure it would be a good idea to remove it, since if anyone wants to customize this, it really needs to be in `/var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/` (or wherever slapd.conf ``directory`` directive points to) to take effect, and not in `/etc/openldap`, which can be confusing (especially since it will be silently ignored by bdb). Also, note that the installer makefile intentionally places DB_CONFIG.example with 600 perms in `/var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/` while the one in the examples dir is world-readable. If anyone customizes this, after the first hurdle of discovering that it should placed in `/var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/` rather than `/etc/openldap`, will most certainly just copy it from the examples, and leave it world-readable. So this wouldn't be a good default.
