That depends. Does the package depend on (libc6 >= 2.3.5) because the
source package Build-Depends on that version or because the
${shlibs:Depends} was expanded for the binary package when it was built?
If it is the former, then there must be some feature of the new version
of the library that is used by the package. If it is the latter, then
you should not have to do anything, as recompiling for Sarge will create
a dependency for the correct version of libc6.
