Hello! For the record, regarding iproute2 and berkeley db ....
The berkeley db dependency is only used by (the black sheep) arpd in iproute2. If it where removed, building arpd would be disabled (without sheding a tear since I don't know of anyone using it) until someone offered to port it to something that's available which would make me consider possibly enabling arpd again. (Also consider the priority of possible new candidates for filling the vacancy. "Packages must not depend on packages with lower priority values"....) In other words, do not consider iproute2 a blocker for removal of berkeley db. (It would be interesting to know which practical problems staying with db 5.x forever would pose though...)
