Hi,

your package FTBFS with libdb-dev (>= 5.1):

src/bdb.so:  (NotImplementedError)
BDB needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h
    you have db.h version 5.1.25 and libdb version 4.8.30
    from tests/marshal.rb:3
make[1]: *** [test] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/libdb-ruby-0.6.5'
make: *** [install/libdb-ruby1.8] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

It should be fairly simple to fix, just to link to non-versioned library (-ldb) first, this patch should help:
