Nope.  There are three separate builds of glibc: one with LinuxThreads
and no debug, one with LinuxThreads and debug, and one with NPTL.  We
have not updated the copy in /usr/lib/debug to use NPTL, but perhaps it
is time to do that (after etch at this point, I think).

Don't be confused by the other libraries in subdirectories of
/usr/lib/debug.  Those are something entirely different; they are used
automatically by GDB to provide better backtraces for the standard
libraries.
