How about an entry in the changes file:
Deb-Sources: libc6 (= 1.2-3), devmapper-udeb (= 4.5-6), ....
The D-I build can fill in the right packages and versions and the same
could be used by ia32-libs.
I like the idea of a fake suite so D-I or ia32-libs doesn't stop
packages migrating to testing. But before a release someone has to
check that all packages in the fake suite are also in testing. Not
like with sarge.
