Hi Andreas, there's no easy way how to tell if the package will build with libdb5.x since DB_VERSION_MAJOR has changed, so the binNMU is not very appropriate without hand checking every package currently linked against libdb4.[678].
Also sometimes the dependencies are entangled into each other, f.e. anything depending on libaprutil1-dev gets libdb4.8-dev pulled as an dependency. And finally the bug is there to keep track of the transition, but generally you're right - either binNMU or next build should fix that.
