This is because Berkeley DB used to be famously bad at back/forward
compatible of ABI or API. (it at least used to be the canonical
example of sucking at it).
It doesn't seem wise to ship just one 'bdb' unless someone can say for
certain that they got better, otherwise it's just asking for trouble
(or at least forced rebuilds of every piece of software linking to
it).
