The schema definition for 'deltaCRL' includes:

  DESC 'RFC2587: PKI user'

This class does not represent a user - the text may have been copied/pasted from
pkiUser (which appears a few definitions above it in the same files).

A more appropriate definition would be something like:

  DESC 'RFC2587: delta CRL'

Affected files:

servers/slapd/schema/core.ldif
servers/slapd/schema/core.schema

Technically RFC2587 has been obsoleted by RFC4523.  It looks like the core 
schema file has never been appropriately updated to reflect this, however. 
RFC4523 has an explicit DESC field for deltaCRL that's probably better to 
use.  Will discuss with the team to see what we want to do.
