Well I already posted an ITP a long time back as well.
The breakage, as -devel logs will show is from libdb3 functions using
symbols from libdb2 when both libs are loaded at once.
For instance, say you use libnss-db (which a good deal of people do,
Debian machines use it), which is linked against libdb2, and must remain
so. Using this means you cannot use any applications linked with
libdb3.so, since doing so will cause a segfault, almost immediately
after calling db_open.
