Isn't that the other way around: the libc6 version with g, and the
libc5 version without? (This convention would ensure that somebody
with an old (from bo, libc5) libfoo and a new libfoo-g would have
the same library twice, and other libc6 packages couldn't just
depends: libfoo, cause there are now two libfoo's (a libc5 and a libc6 one).

Here again, unless I'm really confused, the "g" is mixed up.
