Several udebs depend upon libc6, even though this package is not included in d-i, e.g. busybox-cvs-udeb, dash-udeb, etc. Other tools depend on libc-udeb as expected (e.g. nano-udeb).libc6-udeb provides libc6, so it doesn't matter. The dependencies on libc6 are mostly generated automatically using the shlibdeps mechanism.
This is the error message I get when I try to
do 'apt-get rootskel dash-udeb':

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dash-udeb: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4)

So libc6-udeb should match the dependencies of dash-udeb,
but it does not. Is this a problem in the code comparing the
version numbers ('2.3.2.ds1-4' vs '2.3.2.ds1-16')?
