FFe: Sync clisp 1:2.49-8.1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

[Micah Gersten]

Please sync clisp 1:2.49-8.1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
This switches to libdb5.1 which is now the default in precise. However, libdb5.1 drops a feature (RPC). Quoting from the new bdb-5.1.patch in the package:
 This patch removes RPC support in BDB:DBE-CREATE. The function now fails with
 an error message if a remote host is given.

Changelog entries since current precise version 1:2.49-8:

clisp (1:2.49-8.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Build depend on libdb-dev instead of libdb4.8-dev. Add new patch to
    reflect the fact that Berkeley DB 5.1 no longer supports RPC.
    (Closes: #621377)

Are you aiming to get DB 4.8 removed from the archive before release? If so,
I think this is fine, but if not, I don't see the need.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

I think removing db4.8 would be nice, but I have to check to see if that's a goal for precise. In any event, ajmitch already syndc'd this.
