Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: important

the libc6-dev package creates relative .so links like this:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           23 Nov  8 02:40 libcrypt.so -> ../../lib/libcrypt.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Nov  8 02:40 libdl.so -> ../../lib/libdl.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 Nov  8 02:40 libnsl.so -> ../../lib/libnsl.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           28 Nov  8 02:40 libnss_compat.so -> ../../lib/libnss_compat.so.2

However, these point to nowhere unless /usr is physically mounted there
or is on /. If /usr is a symlink (in my case to /localvol/usr), these
links do not point to the correct location.

Solution:

Don't make relative links, use absolute links instead. This is also faster
and even saves space :)

This problem should be fixed in the recent glibc - because IIRC I
already fixed it for debhelper.  I close it now.
