I understand, your point is a very good one. So, in addition to the
two options I have listed in one of my previous messages, you have a
third one to satisfy this need: start creating two distributions, one
for backward-compatibility with libc5, another for users that have
already upgraded to libc6. You'll have to do it at some time anyway,
when standard distributors stop including libc5 in their default
installations, so why not start doing it now?
