If all you want to do is install libdb3 (which exists in testing and unstable, but not in stable), your best bet is to 'apt-get source' the libdb3 source package from testing or unstable, and build it against potato's libraries. That way you won't have to upgrade libc. You'll need a deb-src line in your sources.list. Also, read the apt-get man page for the 'source' command and the '--build' switch.
