I know.
But I don't want to manually touch each of my 20-some mailservers and
kill the hints db just because the package gets recompiled with yet
another flavor of libdb.
As far as I understood the backporting rules your should always use the
build depends of the Sarge version (if possible) to not cause any
surprises for the user of the backport.
The previous backports of exim4 were all compiled using libdb4.2 AFAIR,
so this new dependency quite surprised me.
