Does slapindex by default not delete old indexes
Right. It only adds new data by default.

In BerkeleyDB, you cannot use truncate mode with transactions. So in
the default mode (without -q), back-bdb/hdb silently removes the
truncate flag. (Perhaps it should print an error and abort instead.)
Then the doc has been misleading all this time - "regenerating" the
index sounds like cleaning away any junk too. So I suggest a louder
change: Add a non-truncate option too, and warn if neither option is
used.
