Bug#275621: libc6-i686: deborphan flags it as an orphan (resulting in unintended removal)

[Brad Sawatzky <brad+debian@lamorak.phys.virginia.edu>]

Package: libc6-i686
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-17
Severity: wishlist

'deborphan' understandably, but incorrectly, identifies the libc6-i686
package as an orphan.  This results in the orphan-cleanup features of
several packages removing libc6-i686 at the first opportunity.

Perhaps test for the existence of deborphan and call
  deborphan -A libc6-i686
during install, and 
  deborphan -R libc6-i686
at removal?
