No those file should not be removed as they are useful. It's the
optimized version of the libc6 for i686. This should be handled by the
packaging system and the user should not have to take such a decision.

libc6 is supposed to disable hwcap before the upgrade, and to re-enable
it after libc6-i686 has been upgraded. This does not seems to work on
your system.

Could you please give me the output of:
- dpkg -l "libc6*"
- cat /etc/ld.so.hwcappkgs
- cat /etc/ld.so.nohwcap

This will help us to find the problem.

Thanks,
Aurelien
