This isn't exactly correct; when you look at an entry you'll see multiple
structural object classes. The reason for that is that an entry has a
structural object class and also the structural object classes of all that
class' ancestors. (Everything that it SUPs, and everything that all of
those classes SUP, etc.)
Note also that this is correct behavior. If you do anything else, other
LDAP server implementations will yell at you and call you names, and some
clients may become confused. Better to fix your data now and do the
upgrade before you put more entries into it, which will just compound the
problem when you inevitably have to upgrade in the future.
