Ok in fact after having searched for week, of course I found the
solution just after having posted my question ;-)))

In fact the solution is simple, db_load is part of Berkeley DB, and the
difficult resided simple in the fact that under Debian it is named
db4.6_load...

And it was already installed on my system...

For those who need to install it, the package name is : db4.6-util,
db4.8-util and so on...
