Hopefully by the time sarge gets released glibc will have progressed
into testing.

The whole thing with testing does rather break down when a package as
fundamental as glibc gets held up. The problem with testing right now
is that glibc hasn't been able to progress to testing for several months
and so pretty much every compiled program is being held up waiting for
that, including security updates and so on.
