Hmm, I already included this change into the glibc 2.3.1-10.

                frontend=`echo "$DEBIAN_FRONTEND" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`
                if [ "$frontend" = noninteractive ]; then
                    echo "Non-interactive mode, restarting services"
                    answer=yes
                else

I think removing glibc is ok, aren't you?
