Now I see.  You're right.  But where did db-4.5 come from?  2.3.8-1
source from experimental doesn't have it, 2.3.8-1 source from subversion
doesn't have it.  Is this your local modification?

Correct fix is either fix berkdb.m4 macro to use information
from /usr/include/db.h (DB_VERSION_MAJOR and DB_VERSION_MINOR) or just
by using:

Build-Conflict: libdb4.5
Build-Depends: libdb4.4-dev

Which of course needs to be modified each time new libdb4.x is released.

Ondrej.
