  Description     : Interface to Berkeley DB XML for Ruby

Currently, only the relational part of Berkeley DB is part of Debian. I'd like to have
the XML part of it available as well. This requires having libdbxml first and then bindings
like the Ruby bindings on top of it.
Both the C implementation and the Ruby bindings seem to have licences similar to their
relational counterparts.
It would be nice if somebody could take this up and coordinate associated packaging efforts
like maybe a libdbxml-java package (Java wrappers are included in the dbxml upstream sources,
the relational counterpart is shipped by Debian as libdb-je-java).
My personal interest is mainly with the Ruby bindings.
