New Maintainer for libc5/libc6

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

I have been "speaking" with David Engel about the current problems with
libc5 and libc6. I have agreed to take over these packages (with a boost
up the learning curve from David) and become their maintainer. While I am
not as informed as I would like to be, as to the inner workings of these
libraries, it is time for me to learn what I can about their construction
and installation. While this makes me an inferior candidate in some ways,
I have been the only one to respond to David's frustrations finding help
with these packages.

If anyone else has a more pressing need to maintain these packages, now is
the time to step forward. If I hear no objections, I will work toward
applying David's patch and getting a new release of libc5 out ASAP
(hopefully before the end of the week). My goal is to get a libc5 that can
be installed on a bo system and allow a clean upgrade path to libc6.

Any and all help will be appreciated, so don't hesitate to comment if you
think it will help.

Waiting is,

Dwarf
