Thanks for your efforts!
Some comments and questions about your new glibc 2.2 deb.
* locale package have some missing conflicts/replaces entries.
Change your locale.deb package to
Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.92-0.0.1)
Conflicts: localebin, wg15-locale, wcsmbs-locale-ja, libwcsmbs, locale-ja,
locale-ko, wcsmbs-locale-ko, locale-vi, locale-zh
Replaces: localebin, wg15-locale, libc6-bin, wcsmbs-locale-ja, libwcsmbs,
locale-ja, locale-ko, wcsmbs-locale-ko, locale-vi, locale-zh
wcsmbs-* is for glibc-2.0, locale-* is for glibc-2.1.
But glibc-2.2 must not require any additional locale packages
based on old glibc specific.
They have to merge into one "libc locale" package.
* locale package have only a few locales as follow:
cs, da, de, el, en_GB, es, fr, gl, it, ko,
nl, no, pl, pt_BR, sk, sv
However, we want to support more locales. Please add (at least) like:
af, af_ZA, ar_SA, bg, bg_BG.cp1251, br, ca, ca_ES, cs_CZ, cy,
da_DK, de_AT, de_BE, de_CH, de_DE, de_LU, el, el_GR, en, en_AU,
en_BW, en_CA, en_DK, en_IE, en_UK, en_US, en_ZW, eo, eo_EO,
es_AR, es_DO, es_ES, es_GT, es_HN, es_MX, es_PA, es_PE, es_SV,
et, et_EE, eu, eu_ES, fi, fi_FI, fo_FO, fr_BE, fr_CA, fr_CH,
fr_FR, fr_LU, ga, ga_IE, gd, gl_ES, gr, gv, he, hr, hr_HR, hs,
hu, hu_HU, id, in_ID, is, is_IS, it_CH, it_IT, iw_IL, ja, ja_JP,
ja_JP.eucJP, ja_JP.ujis, ja_JP.SJIS, kl_GL, kw, lt, lt_LT, lv,
lv_LV, mk, mk_MK, nl_BE, nl_NL, nn, no@nynorsk, no_NO, pl_PL,
pt, pt_PT, ro, ro_RO, ru, ru_RU, ru_RU.KOI8-R, ru_UA, se, sk_SK,
sl, sl_SI, sp, sr, sr_YU, sv_FI, sv_SE, th, th_TH, tr, tr_TR,
uk, uk_UA, wa, zh, zh_CN, zh_CN.GB2312, zh_CN.GBK, zh_TW, zh_TW.Big5
Of cource, this list is very rough. One locale dir is only for storing
locale message catalog (ex. ja/), another is only link file
(ex. ja_JP.ujis -> ja_JP.eucJP), and so on.
glibc 2.2 has many locales, so we have to do efforts to support
various locales for our universal operating system, debian.
* We should have to have a -UTF8 entries. This may be future work?
* Where is "sln"? Is it not needed ?
* glibc-2.1.9x is providing "rpcgen" program. Current rpcgen is
included in "netbase", but now, rpcgen should be supported into
libc package. Yes, it needs netbase changing...

ld.so.d seems nice idea, IMHO.
* BTW, your package does not have link file: ld.so (-> ld-linux.so.2).
Is this needed ?
