I have a few questions about this query:

Boxbackup is currently built against db4.3. Is changing the
build-depends all I need to do?

What about old backup stores, which have been created with db4.3? Do
they need to be converted to the new db4.6?

What do I need to look after for such an upgrade? I assume I need to
make sure that no boxbackup-server instances are using the db.

Clint, can you please point me to other packages which are handling such
upgrades gracefully?
