The unversioned package libdb-dev is an empty package that depends on
the latest versioned one (libdb5.3-dev). The library's versioned soname
is used to determine the right package for the runtime shared library
dependency, so building right now with libdb-dev gets you a package that
depends on libdb5.3.

Do you want to keep the build-dependency specifically on 5.3 and
manually handle libdb version upgrades?

It said something about skipping non-existent error defines. I missed
that this patch actually modifies a quilt patch in the packaging and I
think you've cleaned all those out. I guess we can declare this fixed
