The linux-pam library has the pam_userdb module which uses a
dbm-compatible database to authenticate users. Berkeley DB provides
such functionality, so it has to be condidionally enabled if linux-pam
is used.

I don't really like this. I think you should rather add a configuration
sub-option in package/berkeleydb/Config.in to enable/disable DBM
support, and then have berkeleydb.mk test this configuration option,
and the linux-pam/Config.in package select it.

I don't like when one package recipe pokes into the configuration
options of another package.

Best regards,

Thomas

Well, adding extra config options is what I really wanted to avoid.
But this may be just my way of thinking.

It is not a problem to add such configuration item, I'll do it.

Thanks.
