Your current code should really be put into a branch until the
database code is updated.  Otherwise we end up with 3 different
formats for this information that compatibility will have to
be maintained with:

 - Not present at all
 - Single field seperated by \x00\x00
 - Python list

There is no improvement needed in the database.  All that has
to change is what is stored - ie instead of storing the numbers
directly, store the serials for the entry being referenced.
