Not "others", but only a few people, and unfortunately they don't have
the skill to debug it.

This file is created *because* you have libc6-i686. If it is not
created, the critical part of the glibc unpacking could crash, rendering
your machine unusable.

Yes I agree, and we even ask you to do some basic tests, and you answer
us. Unfortunately, we've reach a point when it is not possible to debug
blindly and we need to be able to reproduce the problem.

Is it really possible? People usually refuse to give an access to their
machine, so I don't even tried to ask that.
