"*** Install db development libraries" doesn't ring a bell that it's talking
about libdb (Berkeley DB).  Because of BDB's relicensing to Affero,
incompatible with many users including Linux, most if not all distributions
can be expected to keep version 5.3 for the foreseable future, thus we can
point the user directly to libdb5.3-dev as the package to install.

(This patch was written in 2017 -- since then, distributions are getting
serious about dropping BDB).
