slapd init.d file fails to set -f or -F

Bug Description

In the init.d slapd script, -f $SLAPD_CONF or -F $SLAPD_CONF is added to $SLAPD_OPTIONS only if $SLAPD_PIDFILE is the empty string. This is strange as SLAPD_PIDFILE is one of the
variables that it is suggested that one could set in /etc/default/slapd. The result is that if one sets SLAPD_PIDFILE in /etc/default/slapd then setting also SLAPD_CONF in it will have no effect.

I can confirm this. Setting SLAPD_PIDFILE does in effect nullify the result of any value set to SLAPD_CONF.

The same goes for the Jaunty version (2.4.11-0ubuntu7).
