The versioning consistency should be taken care of with
{shlibs:Depends}. db-5.1 isn't in Debian anymore (it's been replaced
with 5.3). By the way, we have a patch in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734702
related to this transition that touches
source/libs/spool/berkeleydb/sge_bdb.c
I'm not sure if you want to integrate that (or already have) upstream.
