FWIW, the db3.3-3.3.11 packages at people.debian.org/~dwhedon/debian/
were put together so that they can co-exist with the current db3
packages in much the same way that the db2 packages can co-exist
with the db3 pacakges.  With that in mind it isn't a question of
touching db3, rather the question is do we add db3.3 packages to the
archive.  I understand if you don't want to do that.

I see where you are coming from.  I would, however, like to make
subversion available soon if possible.  I can just leave the packages
on people.debian.org, though there has been some discussion of moving
them to experimental.
