[Bug 571498] [NEW] slapd.postinst should put all backed-up items together in one place under /var/backups

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

Public bug reported:

Currently the slapd.postinst script uses /var/backups/slapd-<old-
package-version>/ to store both the backup copy of $SLAPD_CONF and the
"slapcat"-generated .ldif file.  However, if there is a need to move the
BDB files out of the way, they are instead moved to separate <rootdn
>-<old-packge-version>.ldapdb destination directories found directly
under /var/backups/ .

Assuming the move_incompatible_databases_away logic is kept in post-
Lucid, it  might be worth changing the destination path so that it keeps
the BDB files together with the other backups under /var/backups/slapd
-<old-package-version>/ .

(I think that could be complished by simply changing the hard-coded
"/var/backups" strings found in the compute_backup_path and
move_incompatible_databases_away functions to instead call
database_dumping_destdir, similar to the call in backup_config_once .)
