The policy mention the /etc/ld.so.conf, and gives a somewhat default
content for it, so this file should be included in libc6.

/sbin/ldconfig does not generate /etc/ld.so.conf. ld.so.conf is used
only for ldconfig default configuration file. Read ldconfig(8).

Ah, sorry. That's right.

/etc/ld.so.conf is not needed for libc6. It's needed for some
programs that put libraries on a directory (not /usr/lib or /lib).
The major example is X libraries, /usr/X11R6/lib. Another example is
/usr/local/lib, if user wants to add.
I close this bug.
