Hi,

that wouldn't be necessary in the future as there will be only one X.Y-dev
in the future (with the exception of transitions). Also you shouldn't (with the
exception of some special cases) depend on libdbX.Y-dev, but just libdb-dev.

Last but not least the berkeley db is fragile as is it (it's not
uncommon for app
to use one header X.Y, but link with different libdbX.Z which doesn't match
the header version), so it's better to leave it as it is.
