I understand that unfortunately in slapadd this would require either to keep track of inserted DNs, or to issue quite a few be_entry_get(), possibly resulting in a sensible penalization. Perhaps it could be an option, relying on the fact that slapadd is basically intended to operate on "well-behaved" data?

It had better, since slapadd accepts entries out of order. (It returns failure at the end if some child has not received a parent.)

This could be treated specially by performing renames as soon as info becomes available. This pushes more and more towards making this either an option or a no-go for slapadd (i.e. rely on LDIF massaging to have things nice). Note that having data not compliant with the requirement of this ITS would by no means be a violation of LDAP nor cause any operational issue to slapd. It would just be a matter of having more well-behaved data if this does not impact too much operations (and it shouldn't for run-time adds, since we already lookup the parent when adding an entry).
