  Well that's the whole point of the patch I sent, it convert databases
on the fly. Given that qdbm/tc deal with something like 10^6 inserts
every one or 2 seconds, it's likely that no user will even notice it.


  This conversion code could be kept for a few versions, until every
user is likely not to have any old index anymore, and then the qdbm
dependency could be dropped altogether.

  In debian terms, that'd be great to have the conversion code in lenny,
and to drop it for lenny+1.
