I've tested 2.0-beta CD and there found four packages depending
directly on libc5 (outside the section oldlibs, of course):
awe-netscape, termcap-compat, userv and wm2.
IMHO, awe-netscape and termcap-compat have enough reason to depend on
libc5, but userv and wm2 not. They violate our release goal of hamm
and it should be fixed.
The libc6 version of wm2 seems to have been missed around the day of
freeze (see BTS log of Bug#24513 for details), but we have libc6
version in slink. It is new upstream release with bug fix only, so
copying it from slink will be sufficient.
So there is only one package left. Is this worth working, isn't it?
