I've put together a small fix, which uses LD_PRELOAD to supply those
register_frame_info symbols needed by dselect/apt and others. This was
suggested earlier here on debian-devel, but noone seemed to implement it.
So everything can be fixed by installing the .tar.gz at:
ftp://ftp.terrasoft.hu/pub/debian/reginfo-fix.tar.gz
it's about 2kB, and contains a simple .c file and a Makefile. It goes
under /usr/local/lib a single file named libreginfo.so, and you have to
add:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libreginfo.so
As all the packages have been recompiled for the new libc, this can be
removed.
