Could it be I have missed an announcement that Berkeley DB support has to be removed from packages submitted to Factory? Or is there a mailinglist I failed to subscribe to where this was posted?
Since the from a license point of view newest useable Berkeley DB version is meanwhile pretty old (10 years) and does not see upstream patches nor support and other distributions are meanwhile switching to alternatives, too, it is a very good idea to not introduce new usages of Berkeley DB and replace it in current packages.
