The unversioned package libdb-dev is an empty package that depends on
the latest versioned one (libdb5.3-dev). The library's versioned soname
is used to determine the right package for the runtime shared library
dependency, so building right now with libdb-dev gets you a package that
depends on libdb5.3.

Do you want to keep the build-dependency specifically on 5.3 and
manually handle libdb version upgrades?

It said something about skipping non-existent error defines. I missed
that this patch actually modifies a quilt patch in the packaging and I
think you've cleaned all those out. I guess we can declare this fixed

How does that get you the right db-util package with the tools to handle
the specific version of the db spool?

My current source definitely builds against 5.3.

The versioning consistency should be taken care of with
{shlibs:Depends}. db-5.1 isn't in Debian anymore (it's been replaced
with 5.3). By the way, we have a patch in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734702
related to this transition that touches
source/libs/spool/berkeleydb/sge_bdb.c
I'm not sure if you want to integrate that (or already have) upstream.

Thanks and regards
