The problem is that cupsys moved to sarge before libc6 did.  This
should not normally happen.  This should fix itself once libc6
moves to debian which should hopefully be soon.  The release team
has already approved that glibc moves to testing (glibc is
frozen), and it should move to testing once it's build on all
arches.

The reason why you're seeing this is that on all other arches in
debian the buildds didn't upgrade their libc6 yet so still
builded against an older version of libc6, and the package was
able to move to testing.  The scripts moving the package from
unstable to testing do not take amd64 into account.

If you really want to install it, I suggest you instal the libc6
version from unstable.
