Actually, it didn't originally contain ndbm.h and I regenned it within
minutes of the db.h discussion so that later versions no longer contain
db.h either.

I know I probably should have made the package 1.3.11-4 but I couldn't
bring myself to do this for one include file.

So there was just a small window where db.h was available.
