Huh? I run one machine that is mostly woody but with sarge's libc6 and
a few selected other sarge packages. This seems to work impeccably in
general (I do know where to point my anger at when it doesn't, but in
those casses libc has never been involved).  If sarge's libc6 were
*not* backwards compatible, it would have been called libc7.
