I now know where my problem is coming from.

On upgrade without warning or comment the dpkg script slapd.preinst inserts the following access rules into the new cn=config configuration database in the "dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config"


olcAccess: {0}to * by 
dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth manage by * 
break
olcAccess: {1}to dn.exact="" by * read
olcAccess: {2}to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read

If if it's a live system and you depend on the default openldap access rules ( * by * read ) this is a sudden and (imho rude) change. Obviously tightening security is admirable, but some warning would be appreciated.

So the problem is not the conversion to 'cn=config' it's the debian package.
