I don't have anything bad about sys-libs/db, but I don't use it.
From a quick look berkdb seems to get used when --with-table-db is specified, however the ebuild does not specify it and it defaults to disabled. I believe the dep should either removed entirely or it be USE conditional for that option (if there is any reason to add it, I personally don't need it).
