Well, I did say "except ... libdb3..."

Well, these three don't need to be changed.

8 packages? This shouldn't be too hard.

These don't need to be changed.

This is sort of a group of problems.

Well, still quite a list, anyway. But at least db4.1 is RC-bug-free ATM.

This being the newest, we aren't going to be messing with it.

Well, see my analysis. Anyway, I was only referring to "Standard" packages
and those used by the installer -- which is a much shorter list.
Incidentally, you didn't do this one:
grep-available -FDepends -sPackage libdb2 | wc -l
23
grep-available -FDepends -sPackage libdb2
Package: libdb2-ruby1.8
Package: libdb2-ruby1.6
Package: libdb2-util
Package: libdb2-dev
Package: db2-doc
Package: libdb2-dbg
Again, these don't need to change.
Package: libapache-mod-auth-pgsql
Package: libapache-mod-frontpage-mirfak
Package: libapache-mod-fastcgi
Another group...
Package: pks
Package: libsasl-krb4-mit
Package: radiusd-livingston
Package: skksearch
Package: pavuk
Package: python1.5
Package: snes9express
Package: exim
Package: htdig
Package: libwvstreams3-base
Package: dsniff
Package: apt-utils
Package: zmailer-ssl
Package: libsasl-gssapi-mit
