Log:
  databases/db6: sunset (expire) port in half a year's time
  
  Oracle have hidden newer versions behind a registration-only download,
  so we cannot even update to 6.2.38.  Oracle haven't responded to an
  inquiry to that extent.
  
  Apparently, the port isn't very popular, no port in INDEX-12 depends on it,
  users will rather use db5 (perhaps due to the more permissive license),
  so deprecate db6.
