On the question of why the library dependency on libdb4.3-dev leads to linking against libdb4.4: My guess is that the package's Makefiles link using -ldb, rather than -ldb-3. When libdb4.4-dev (or libdb4.5-dev on Feisty) is installed, /usr/lib/libdb.so points to the newer version. My further hypothesis is that the build machines for Dapper didn't (or don't) have those newer versions installed, but they do for Edgy and Feisty.
