Currently having at hand a lot of spare time, I’d like to get this
transition done for Lenny.  Some testing reveals that at least gonzui
and rbot have problems with 0.6.5, so at least these would need an
upload.

I see that there is a freeze exception for libdb-ruby, but I cannot find
the relevant discussion with the release team.  Do we also have some
sort of pre-approval to get libdb-ruby-related changes into testing?  If
not, I’d start by getting one before filing bugs.

Cheers,
