Package: libc6
Version 2.10.1-5
When I try to upgrade libc6 with dpkg (yeah, I still do that occasionally)
from 2.7-18 to 2.10.1-5, it unpacks before noticing that libc-bin is not
there. This leaves the system without a copy of ldconfig.
Should the dependency on libc-bin be a Pre-Depends?

That should not be a huge problem. You can still install libc-bin after
that using --force-all.

It could not be Pre-Depends, otherwise apt-get will refuse to upgrade
libc*.
