At this point nis.schema is defined in slapd.conf AND the openlap server 
has started once. True for Debin/Ubuntu.

Don't do this. Next update via apt/aptitude or what ever you use will 
overide the nis.schema file :-( . COPY the rfc2307bis.schema to the 
schema directory and replace nis.schema with rfc2307bis.schema in 
slapd.conf.

That is the wrong way. "dpkg-reconfigure slapd" will NOT and NEVER 
create a new ldap database, if one exist.

- Stop slapd
- You must backup & remove the content of the /var/lib/ldap/ directory.
- Load the dump of your OLD server via slapadd
- Start slapd

Sure.

Mmmh, your ols nis.schema exist still in the ldap database, because you 
have forgotten to start with an empty database.

See above. Debian will start the openldap server right after slapd*.deb 
is installed. So its not your fault. One must know, how packages are 
installed and what happens during this phase. You may read the package 
install scripts, if you need to know what debian will do. You may focus 
on reading /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.config

ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.conffiles  /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.config     /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.preinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.list	    /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.prerm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.md5sums    /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.shlibs
/var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.postinst   /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.templates

What each script does in general is explained here:
