Oh. Er. I just sent them out. I think your mail arrived while I
was sending them :)
I didn't expect this to be a matter of determining policy; I thought
that because it was listed in the "Upcoming Releases" file, it had
been decided on before I joined. That's why I didn't wait very long
for comments. (I'm impatient because I have a lot of free time this
week, and I'll be much more busy next week. I want to get Debian
stuff done :-)

I don't think I have the expertise for that. Ray Dassen's version
contains many remarks that I can't explain. I just know that it's
useful to have the linker warn if you try to link a libc5 library with
a libc6 one, especially now that we're building a libc6 release.
