That sounds dangerous; as I understand it, it's necessary for everything
that depends on libapr0 to use the same version of Berkeley DB.
On a similar note, though, db4.2 is now in unstable, so will the next
version of apache2 use it? Uploads of new upstream versions of
subversion are waiting for this to happen. (I scanned the debian-apache
archives but couldn't find any mention of this.)
