Um, what is the right way to *really* fix this issue?  I checked the
fakeroot bugs and didn't see any bugs open that looked relevant.
Someone on IRC advised me to use 'LD_PRELOAD= dpkg-shlibdeps..' to
work around for now.

I suspect that fakeroot.shlib was just a hack put in place to
workaround some bug in libc6 which is now fixed.  If so, I'd like to
file an important bug against fakeroot to remove this file.  I suspect
an awfully large number of packages will be uploaded with this problem
(which lintian doesn't detect, AFAIK).

So if someone could advise me on how this ought to be fixed.  And I
hear it's not libtricks, which is purported to be broken.
