I completely disagree. This bug is critical; someone installing
unstable libc6 on a woody system (which I do often! If you use pinning
to get a new version of one package from unstable, you WILL get
unstable's libc6 now!) will break their apache. That's not acceptable
at all.
Unless someone gives me a reason not to, I intend to upload a new libc6
with libdb1-compat and the MIPS msq.h fix. I'll check for any other
bug reports which should be addressed at the same time.
