Looking into libdb4.7 is on my todo list. I'd love to have the same
library used in stable, testing and unstable to make people switching
between those easier, but I guess that will not be possible.
(Which is a bit ugly, since I miss the possibility to test reprepro with
the newer libdb in an production environment, perhaps I'll have to
create backports of libdb4.7 on my own sometime).

I'm aware of those. The reason this is so short is because I already
added the libdb4.7 linking to configure. Note the big fat
configure: WARNING: reprepro not yet tested with libdb4.7, use on your own risk
warning this produces in ubuntu build logs. I was bitten by libdb
too often to trust it with anything I've not thouroughly tested.
(Though as ubuntu already uses it, I decided to make this possible in
configure with the above warning).
Hochachtungsvoll,
