This way of checking for an empty or unset variable is a bit strange,
though admittedly it works in this case...

You don't have to escape the "#", it's not a special character. And you
don't need that check anyway, since if the line matches /^objectClass: /
its first character is obviously not a hash, so you can just do:

/^objectClass: / { do whatever }

To look for an ^olcAttributeTypes line, just do:

/^olcAttributeTypes: / { do whatever }

I'm not sure which result you wanted to get, but the above is most
certainly not what you wanted or intended. Can you paste a sample of the
output you want to get given the inetorgperson.ldif input?
