Mostly to see if I could get libstdc++2.10-dev to install without 
complaining about libc6-dev not being installed.  libc0.2-dev appears to 
have libc6-dev in the 'provides' line, so I figured it was probably a bug 
in dpkg.

It's not a big deal.  What I do now is dpkg -i g++*dev libstdc++*dev for 
the duration of any compile, and then remove them after if I need to do 
any further upgrades.
