I'm confused.

Subject: RFC: conventions for libc5 and libc6 based library packages in hamm
Debian library policy supplement draft for libc5->libc6 migration
This document is meant to tell what a Debian package providing a
library should do to support both libc6 (glibc2) and libc5.
Note that these requirements are for Debian 2.0 (codename hamm).
[...]
based on | package name | library location
--------------------------------------------
libc6 | libfoog [1]| /usr/lib/libfoo.so.<ver>
libc5 | libfoo | /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libfoo.so.<ver> [2]
[...]
There are two exceptions from this rule. The shared linker
ld-linux.so.1 and the C library files libc.so.5 and libm.so.5
should still be located in /lib, not in /lib/libc5-compat.
Packages based on X have to use /usr/X11R6 as prefix, not /usr.
..."
I thought that was the current policy. Has it been modified?
Not that it worries me one way or the other, but I would like to
be sure that we all are using the same directories.
