OK, this is an odd list:
Package: libdb2++
<snip>
Reverse Depends:
  libdb4.1++,libdb2++ 2:2.7.7-3
  libdb4.0++c102,libdb2++ 2:2.7.7-3
  libdb3++c102,libdb2++ 2:2.7.7-3
  libdb2++-dev,libdb2++ 2:2.7.7.0-8
  animals,libdb2++ 2:2.7.7-4

What exactly is going on here?  It appears that apart from 'animals',
the only things depending on libdb2++ (the C++ interface to libdb2) are
*future* versions of the C++ interface to libdb.  Why are they depending
on it?  This seems odd to me.
