 And that's a valid wish and should be encouraged. One thing comes to
mind: Might it be possible to have some dpkg trigger that could test for
the need of upgrade of the db files? That way it could be make package
independent. I'm not deep into libdb to know wether that's possible,
it's just a thought that came to my mind.

 Thanks for working on this,
