If you mean, start with minimal slapd.conf, converted with -f/-F, yes that 
would certainly work. Starting with a slapd.conf and not converting it would 
be somewhat pointless, as none of the subsequent actions would be saved to 
any file.

Anyway, I didn't think the conversion case was very interesting, the 
conversion is known to always work. I wanted to test starting from a minimal 
LDIF because I wanted to test the creation of defaults for omitted entries 
(cn=schema, olcdatabase=frontend). Those entries are always automatically 
created for you during a conversion, so there's nothing to test there.
