Glibc package is the core of debian's binary and its system.
My little concern is distributing broken package. The result is...
However, glibc-snapshot is interesting idea (and we may be called
'insane'). We have many architectures and base operating systems these
days. Upstream seems not to check such various archs frequently. Once
we certain the snapshot seems stable, then we can release glibc deb
without concern. Well if we release glibc.deb, then we also release
glibc-snapshot with same binary.
