libdb2 in woody

[Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp>]

Hi,

I just upgraded potato to woody.  I tried to build some package
which requires libdb2, but it would fail to link to -ldb.
I looked into this problem:

 - Packages file of woody points
  Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/devel/libdb2-dev_2.4.14-2.7.7.1.c.deb
                  ^^^^^^
   This package doesn't have the following symlinks, so it requires
   to be linked with -ldb2.

	./usr/lib/libdb.a -> libdb2.a
	./usr/lib/libdb.so -> libdb2.so.2.7.7

   Note that gnome-config in libgnome-dev uses -ldb, so
   most gnome package couldn't be built on woody, I think.

 - libdb2-dev for glibc 2.2.1 are
	woody/main/binary-alpha/devel/libdb2-dev_2.7.7-2.2.deb
        woody/main/binary-arm/devel/libdb2-dev_2.7.7-2.2.deb
        woody/main/binary-i386/devel/libdb2-dev_2.7.7-2.2.deb
        woody/main/binary-powerpc/devel/libdb2-dev_2.7.7-2.2.deb
        woody/main/binary-sparc/devel/libdb2-dev_2.7.7-2.2.deb

     in addition, mips version is in pool/main/d/db.

These packages in woody hirerachy have the above symlinks, so 
I believe these packages should go in woody's Packages.
Is there some problem that libdb2 2.7.7-2.2 couldn't go in woody?
