Well, those are conffiles belonging to the slapd package; you can remove
them (as you appear to have done), but if you do so, you'll have to provide
your own schemas in their place.  And if you remove core.ldif, your setup is
incompatible with the package autoconfiguration.

So no, that's not related to this bug.
