There is a debconf question about purge:

Template: slapd/purge_database
Type: boolean
Default: false
Description: Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged?

Note that false is the default. Was it changed to true before purging?

** Changed in: openldap (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  database doesn't get purged during purge

Status in openldap package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When documenting the installation of slapd on Lucid, I often need to go back to a clean default install. I do this by:
  apt-get -y purge slapd && apt-get install slapd

  It seems that purging does not remove /var/lib/ldap, so after re-
  installation old database stuff is hanging around.

  Hence, you receive all kinds of 'duplicate' warnings when trying to
  add things to an alleged 'clean' install.

  Expected behavior: 'apt-get purge slapd' purges everything, including
  /var/lib/ldap.

  FYI, this is the only ldap related package I had installed, so
  /var/lib/ldap is not used by other packages.
