OpenLDAP slapd, like may other daemons, relies on timeouts being a reasonably short (a few hours) to deal with dead streams. Dead streams occur for a wide variety of reasons and erver applications need an effective mechanisms to deal with them. Changing the timeout to a week would render the SO_KEEPALIVE mechanism ineffective. Personally, I advocate using sysctl (in rc files) to set the default to on and leaving the kernel alone.
