Proposal: removing libc5, altgcc and all their old-days dependencies

["Francesco P. Lovergine" <frankie@debian.org>]

Hi all

Someone could already know this amazing bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=196015

IMO it's a good moment to drop all the following i386-specific packages
which are libc5 related:

libc5
libc5-altdev
libc5-altdbg
altgcc
libdb1
libdb1-altdev
libdl1
libdl1-altdev
zlib1
ldso
libg++27-altdev
libregex0-altdev
svgalib1-altdev
xlib6-altdev
xpm4.7
xaw3d
netscape-base-4-libc5
svgalib1
svgalib-dummy1
termcap-compat

and others, partially.

This could impact potentially very old (commercial mostly) binaries,
Comments, ideas, complaints?
