All other packages on the other hand need to ensure they are unpacked
after libc6-i386 preinst was run, that means adding:
Pre-Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.9-18)
Now that libc6-i386 has switched from "Conflicts:" to "Breaks:", to make
sure that the libc6-i386 preinst is run first, the following conflicts
is enough:
Conflicts: libc6-i386 (<= 2.9-18)
The "Pre-Depends:" alternative proposed by Goswin works, but has more
chances to trigger dependencies loops in apt or aptitude.
