ok, so we are waiting the release of slink, and not that the FSF will release
glibc2.1 officially ?

yes, but there is the gnome-gtk staging area, where supposedly people should
test and stabilize gnome/gtk/imlib and related stuff before moving it into
unstable all at once. but it seems to be i386 only, and only debs, no source
available, i complained on the new debian-gtk-gnome mailing list, and lets see
what happens.
Best would be to have such a 'staging area' officially integrated in the debian
tree, and have one for glibc2.1¸ and xfree also ...
