Bug Description

Due to licensing change in db6.0, it is unlikely to become the default db implementation since it's incompatible with majority of previous packages that use db5.x series.

I've noticed one package build-depend (ored) on db6.0, whilst not license compatible.

There are at the moment no software packages that hard-depend on db6.0 thus it's introduction is undesired at the moment. If in the future db6.0 is introduced into the archive, i'd hope it would be explicitely named that it's imcompatible e.g. have a suffix -agpl3- or some such.

Please remove db6.0 from the ubuntu archive.
