In lack of public web space I have temporarily uploaded the packages to sourceware
o sourceware.org:/home/vzell/db
If everything looks good, you can move them to the release directory.
Right now I'm using more or less the same build script as Gerrit.

I think there are still packages around which require specific versions
of berkdb. When I have time I can repackage the db packages to use
alternatives. db-2 and db-3.1 should also be repackaged to use /usr/share/doc
instead of /usr/doc, so that we can get rid of /usr/doc one day.
