The conditions where mdb and hdb/bdb need dumping/reloading are usually
going to be different. It would be nice if we would avoid dumping and
reloading databases that don't actually need it.

A proper fix for #759596 will probably get us most of the way there.

Beyond the unnecessary (and failing:) dump/reload, I also got a gratis
DB_CONFIG file during upgrade from wheezy to 2.4.40-1.  So not only the
conditions differ, but also the methods, since MDB does not need this.

Thanks; confirmed.

The comment in the maintainer script says:

# If there is an old DB_CONFIG file, restore it before
# running slapadd

which is fine, but then it also restores the default DB_CONFIG if there
wasn't an old one. That's probably not necessary, since the olcDbConfig
bits already specify the default DB configuration.
