The warning is indeed a bit annoying, but not harmful in any way. We will look 
into how to convey the semantics of "optional" configuration files into the 
API of libggz upstream.

This is what has been identified as a problem before, but so far nobody has 
stepped up to upload fixed packages which tighten the build dependencies or 
alternatively backport the M4 macros for libdb detection which were fixed in 
trunk.

See my comments on bug #490420. IMHO tightening the build-deps will be the 
quickest fix to avoid header and library mismatching with libdb4.
