Yeah, I tried today to fix these in a way that would maintain BBDB 2.x
backward compatibility, but there are too many places to fix in
eudcb-bbdb.el.  I'll work on fixing them for BBDB >= 3.x for Emacs > 26,
but I'm going to put a NEWS entry in Emacs 26 stating that BBDB 2.x
support in EUDC is deprecated.  Then Emacs 27 will have (a) BBDB 3.x
core in Emacs (hopefully), and (b) BBDB 2.x backward compatibility code
removed.
