This is completly a non-issue. The libc6 thing is a cosmetic problem, the
new package claims to depend on the libc6 in slink, but in fact it does not
(ie, you can --force-depends the install with the old libc6 and it will
work). Since we have this problem with some 400 packages and it's so minor
for most packages, we had not planned to fix it.
