That "old scheme" is a bit ambigous. Lets be a bit more explicit, and
say "go back to CSW STANDARD scheme".

And lets continue to be explicit and spell out the future path for berkeleydb:

Once applications have been recompiled to no longer use berkeleydb4X
versions of the shared libs, that versioned virtual package should be
completely removed from our repository.

older berkeleydb4X packages should be in transition to non-existance,
once their dependants are gone.


agree?
