They differ, because both provide ndbm-emulation interfaces...
however, it shouldn't be a problem, since you have to go out of your
way to get the db version:
% dpkg -S ndbm.h
libdb1-dev: /usr/include/db/ndbm.h
libgdbm1-dev: /usr/include/ndbm.h
I took over maintaining both of these (although the lack of bug
reports and the lack of upstream release has meant that I haven't
actually needed to upload a new package.)

Can you explain more about what the problem was? It might be possible
to unify the compatibility headers, or just use one of them, if
there's a real problem.
