For apache: Stefan et al,
Do you have any objection to switch to libdb5.1-dev (and bd on libdb-dev)?

Based on a few tests via php, databases from 4.8 and 5.1 seem to be 
compatible.

In the long term, something needs to be decided and done. The former 
maintainer of db uploaded the latest version and orphaned the packages.
