question about libc6-dev/shlibs

[Christian Schwarz <schwarz@monet.m.isar.de>]

When writing and running the shlib check for lintian (cf. my other mail) I
detected some special cases:

1. The libc6-dev package installs a funny /usr/lib/libc.so file. Is this
correct or a bug?

2. libc6' shlibs control file reads:

--cut-here--
/lib/ld-linux   2       libc6
ld-linux        2       libc6
[...]
--cut-here--

Thus, the `ld-linux' entry is included twice, and the first has a path
specification. Is this correct?

3. ld-linux.so.2 seems to be linked against itself! Is this correct?

$ ldd /lib/libc.so.6
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)


Thanks,

Chris
