It's done using library reduction via the libc6-pic package. Basically
there is a script that goes through all the programs, finds which symbols
and this which objects are needed from libc.so.6, and then builds a new
one with just those objects from libc6-pic.
If you install the boot-floppies package, you can find the script in the
source.
