Not zero, 1 ;)
Problem is, I've delayed for a very longtime the upgrade because every
new version had a tendency to break backward compat with config files
and such. I was running sbuild/buildd 0.58-something from db.d.o until
I decided to move. The upgrade wasn't painless, but at least it
worked. What prompts me for the wanna-build move is the lack of
--built support from the old version, but that's not a really big deal
either. Also I hoped that moving to what's in squeeze would mean
moving to something slightly more "supported". Seems it's not really
the case...

Well, I'd be glad to help, but I have no idea how to do that...

Given the limited number of packages being handled (about 80), it's
not worth the hassle. I planned to keep using the MLDBM backend. Is it
broken?

Thanks
