Beside that they don't exist for the db interface?  How would you
implement the behaviour that each entry is returned exactly once?  And
it must be possible to have other lookups at the same time (on the
same descriptor) and and and

If you don't want to have the sequence numbers in the database simply
modify the Makefile.  This only means that the getXXent functions
won't work with the db service but still work with the others.
