The dependencies of libc6 must handle packages that break without db1

>From a user's point of view the current situation with the removal of db1
from libc6 is unacceptable.

Consider e.g. once sarge is stable the following scenario:

A user wants to upgrade woody -> sarge and starts with a
  apt-get install dpkg apt
and the dependencies pull in the libc6 package from sarge.


Now several applications on the system are broken (e.g. a running apache).


I don't see a way how this could be handled outside the dependencies of
libc6. One possible solution is to create a libdb1g package in oldlibs and
let the libc6 in sarge depend on this package (the dependency can be
dropped after sarge is released).
