I'd like to support this. We use precompiled libraries for some of our 
research work which will most likely be libc5 based for a while. Dropping 
libc5 _development_ support from Debian 2.0 would make it impossible for us to 
upgrade until we can get libc6-based versionos of the third party libraries we 
use.
