Still, I would vote to have it on the right click menu. I never saw it before, 
on the package menu.
On a not so related topic, "Download Changelog" should have a keyboard 
shortcut

For that, you have Google, and help/wiki.ubuntu.com

I agree that having "configure" and "download changelog" available via
the right-click menu would help people, and help folks that do
support.  The alternative is people not noticing these standard ways
of getting information and doing configuration "The Ubuntu/Debian
Way".  But I think these are just the sorts of things we want more and
more users to be aware of.  Now, instead, people suffer with systems
that don't work the way they want, or hack configuration files by hand
in ways that are harder to upgrade.

Perhaps I was confusing the owners of the affected package(s) with the
owners of libdb itself.  I wish someone had called me on it earlier,
but hopefully I've got the right list now...

Ubuntu-devel folks, same problem as above (Please advise on how we can
advance the progress of bug 153996).
