How do you mean wedge in?
If the script were to upgrade libc5 to 5.4.x, then upgrade dpkg to 1.4.x
for libc5, it could upgrade systems right back from buzz (debian 1.1).
buzz had dpkg 1.2.x, which doesn't have the --get-selections that
autoup wants to use. dpkg 1.4.0.8 (from bo) needs libc5 >= 5.4.0.0.
Then both of these should be upgraded again for libc6.
