Probably the package has set up a default configuration and database skeleton. Use ldapsearch or slapcat to review it and adjust your LDIF appropriately. Or stop the daemon, remove the default configuration from /etc/ldap/slapd.d and data from /var/lib/ldap, and slapadd yours.

You can preseed the slapd/no_configuration Debconf question to avoid it setting up the default configuration. The installation will fail when it tries to start the daemon, since there's no configuration present; then you slapadd your own and run dpkg --configure -a to complete the installation.
