Architecture-specific versioned dependencies.  It was most likely
uploaded shortly before glibc 2.3.2 entered the archive, and now depends
on 2.3.2 on some autobuilt architectures.

I wouldn't worry about this overly much -- we *need* to get glibc
2.3.2 into a releasable state, or we'll be doing an awful lot of package
trimming between now and December.
