By the way, this version of glibc is vulnerable to the same problem as
the Intel one: it has incompatible I/O functions virtual table.  Please
be aware.

I wonder what decision on this matter will be made in debian-devel.
Speaking strictly, this is an interface change and hence new soname and
new package name and all this mess.  But, actually it may be easier to deal
with considering that the change does not involve many packages and from
the distribution point of view can just be merged with the libc5->libc6
transition.  In unstable it is not necessary to maintain backwards
compatibility with unstable.

Cheers,

	Nikita
