That would be great if you could import a db1 package. If not, I will
package db1.

I see that following the latest db4 will be continuing upgrades, but
a db1 (I assume) would never change.

Also is there way to choose which db is used by specific package via
mk.conf?

In particular, I want to force my PAM and pkg_install to depend
on db1 instead of db4. (Or maybe I just set USE_DB185=yes or list the
"db1" in BDB_ACCEPTED?)

(For some reason, I thought I needed it for a lot more, but I think my old
packages accidently were depending on a db but didn't really need it.)
