You probably had an old version of ldap that kept the old config for 
ldap write rules in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
I suggest to reset the ldap db if you use it for SF only.
install-ldap.sh reset/configure do this for you
The config with extra ou=People can have some problem later with delete 
operation, though this probably only occurs at uninstall
I think the best would be that we propose to do this reset at setup and 
provide a clean and working automatic config,
because the ldap default config is a huge source of problem for too 
many people.
