Bug#499689: libc6: Now that lenny is frozen, glibc should (?) have a newer version in MIN_KERNEL_SUPPORTED

[Stefanos Harhalakis <v13@v13.gr>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-13
Severity: normal


Hello there,

Now that lenny is frozen shouldn't glibc depend to a newer (2.6.26) kernel
version? Currently, MIN_KERNEL_SUPPORTED is set to 2.6.9 and (as you know)
leaves out some newer features.

Apologies if this is nonsense.
