It was getting on my nerves and I had to spend a lot of time to clear up the situation. Being a beginner in both areas Debian Distribution and OpenLDAP-Server I entered the docs via Quick Start and immediately stuck headover in the mud of outdated and inconsistent docs / references..
Please add at least a note about the new configuration method and a link to the explaining wiki page http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html
in Quick-Start: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/quickstart.html
As you link to http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconfig.html from there in section 8 about Configuration you should also add a note and link there or even better add an own section about the dynamic configuration method in Quick-Start.
Thanks in advance and cheers
