I'm not sure, but argued against that on the python list (debian-python@l.d.o).

Of course, but if Python2.6 could be made to work with libdb5.1, or just do that out of the box, I would not bother about libdb4.8 - I only don't have enough expertise to answer the question. In that case, having an entry in NEWS.Debian would be sufficient, imho. > But I am willing to reintroduce lidb4.8 and libdb4.8-dev back just to > keep things simple now. I wasn't sure that Py2.6 was really going away, and hope that it isn't. It could be safely dropped for Wheezy + 1, though. I'm not talking about the maintenance perspective here, only about the user perspective.
