I suppose the correct approach would be for the package to offer to configure a rootdn and rootpw for the config backend on installation, however, since the package that will be released with squeeze will probably not have those options, it's inevitable that the OP's question is going to be posted here a lot, and generally annoy list members.
As there was no slapd.conf ("old" way) config file, I found the easiest way was to add a olcRootPW option to the olcDatabase={0}config file (password generated using slappasswd) and then restarting the server.
I understood Pierangelo's point that manually editing these files is discouraged, but I didn't find a better way.
