libc6 dependency generation

[Brian White <bcwhite@precidia.com>]

Is it possible to have libc6 not list its dependency information with
so much accuracy?  That is, could it leave off the "-devrev" or maybe
even the most minor revision number (".x-debrev")?

As it is, it's impossible to do any kind of mixing between stable and
unstable even when the difference in libc6 is only 2.2.5-4 to 2.2.5-13.

apt-get absolutely refuses to ignore a package that I've forced the
installation of when a dependency like this is violated and yet
the newer package from "unstable" runs just fine.
