If we keep to this schedule, there is no way we can have all packages
rebuilt under glibc in time (geez we still have a.out packages
around). There is no glibc package yet (and I don't want to see
one until it has been released upstream because programmers have this
thing about changing binary formats in libraries if the previous version
was merely a "beta" and "unreleased").
My personal preference is to keep the Jan 30 schedule, but hold off on
glibc until later (and call that later one Debian 2.0).
