You should certainly remove libdb-dev, since libc6-dev replaces it (as libc6 includes libdb.) I haven't done a libdb-altdev, and unless someone asks probably won't bother (the libgdbm* packages are already uploaded though.) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-devel-request@lists.debian.org .
