I'm not entirely certain I see why we need to remove libc5 packages from
the system for Debian 2.0.  While I agree that the primary packages should
really be glibc, I don't see how a few lib5 packages are going to hurt the
distribution, a.out stuff works fine here too.  I can see a program to do
non-maintainer uploads of glibc packages for orphaned packages and so
forth.
