Bug#1057850: libnss-db: Uses db5.3, no replacement in sight
Hi Cris, Would be possible reintroduce libnss-db to testing? I'm asking because I'm maintainer of the pglistener package and I know there aren't plans to update the sofwtare with another database solution. And now I can't have pglistener on testing.

Users can probably use any other NSS module that can use some form of database backend. After a while I intend to file an RM bug, too.
