For reasons which I do not understand, the ftpmasters obliquely let me 
know that they will not accept libxcrypt from NEW until the libc 
maintainers will explicitly confirm that we have agreed on a plan to use 
it. Do you mind confirming this?

Yes, this is what I meant. So:

Package: libcrypt1
Breaks: libc6 (<< 2.29-X)
Replaces: libc6 (<< 2.29-X)

Package: libcrypt1-dev
Breaks: libc6-dev (<< 2.29-X)
Replaces: libc6-dev (<< 2.29-X)

Package: libc6
Depends: libcrypt1

Package: libc6-dev
Depends: libcrypt1-dev

And all the architecture-specific variations which I will figure out.

(Also, do not forget about the man pages in the -dev packages.)

There is also a libcrypt1 udeb: do you prefer to start building it now 
or deal with it later?
