We could do it other way around (keep libdb in v5 and make libdb6 package), but this approach invites future problems with consecutive versions (v7, v8 probably should not be packaged in libdb*6*). Using another naming scheme would take care of part of the problem. I would actually prefer somebody to verify all packages that Require libdb and work with maintainers of said packages to eventually update their requires. If no one signes up to this, I will do it as part of the change (but even the I could use some help). If this proposal seems good to you, I will update the wiki page to reflect the agreement.
