Beecrypt upstream is dead for seven years, this is not a healthy situation (death tends to have that effect...) for any component, and even less so for security sensitive component. Deprecate for later removal now that we have multiple nicer alternatives.
Berkeley DB 5.x is dead upstream ever since the license change some seven years ago. Mark as deprecated for later removal now that we're starting to have viable alternatives.

@pmatilai Why didn't we just remove beecrypt? It's not like bdb where it has drastic consequences for users whether it's available or not, and with having libgcrypt, we don't need it anymore. |

Trying to behave a civilized upstream for once, and deprecate features before removing? 😁 |

Both components are dead upstream for about seven years, deprecate them for later removal, now that we have alternatives.
