As I said in the original mail, it is needed in Build-Depends. BDB API (-dev) had to be present during the build and configure was complaining that it could not compile a test code which #include <db.h>. The only packages which include db.h at all are:
*> apt-file search /db.h | grep '\/db\.h$' | grep -v kernel
libbind-dev: usr/include/dns/db.h
libdb1-altdev: usr/include/db/db.h
libdb2-dev: usr/include/db.h
libdb2-dev: usr/include/db2/db.h
libdb3-dev: usr/include/db.h
libdb4.1-dev: usr/include/db.h
libdb4.2-dev: usr/include/db.h
libdb4.3-dev: usr/include/db.h
libgwenhywfar17-dev: usr/include/gwenhywfar/db.h
libkpathsea-dev: usr/include/kpathsea/db.h
libmifluz0-dev: usr/include/mifluz/db.h
oskit: usr/include/oskit/freebsd/db.h
prelude-manager: usr/include/prelude-manager/db.h
sourcenav: usr/lib/sourcenav/share/sdk/include/db.h
wxwin2.4-headers: usr/include/wx/db.h
xviewg-dev: usr/X11R6/include/xview/db.h
so I had to upgrade from libdb3* to libdb4* to get db.h which made
configure happy.
Now to understand really what causing this since you are saying that you
don't use Berkley DB... then it must be something wrong in autoconf logic
since I did have libqdm installed but I had to have libdb4* to
configure properly:
> dpkg -l *qdbm* | grep ^ii
ii libqdbm-dev 1.8.33-2 QDBM Database Libraries [development]
ii libqdbm11 1.8.33-2 QDBM Database Libraries [runtime]
ii libqdbm2++c2 1.8.33-2 QDBM Database Libraries for C++ [runtime]
I see that mutt-ng used to depend on libdb4.3-dev:
mutt-ng (0.0.svn+r292-2) experimental; urgency=low
* Removed libdb4.3-dev, added libqdbm-dev to the Build-Depends
* Introduced lintian-override

so may be there is a left-over to be fixed in autoconf?
Was mutt-ng built with pdebuilder in clean chroot just to make
sure that all build-depends are right?
