Not for woody, unfortunatly. This will happen in the next release.

Um, what's wrong with dpkg --audit? Anyway, that command line does not
seem to really work all that well. Compare:
joey@silk:~> dpkg -l | grep '^.[HF][^ ]'
zsh: done dpkg -l |
zsh: exit 1 grep '^.[HF][^ ]'
joey@silk:~>dpkg -C
The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
quake2 popular 3D first person shooter game (engine only)
The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
quake2-data Installer for Quake II data files

Shouldn't this bug in libc6 be fixed?

Um, apt _is_ the default access method in dselect, and has been for years.
So this is a little unclear.
