$ apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
  Installed: 2.2.5-11.1
  Candidate: 2.2.5-11.1
  Version Table:
     2.2.5-14 0
         90 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Packages
 *** 2.2.5-11.1 0
        500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.2.5-6 0
        500 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org stable/main Packages

If you're seeing 2.2.5-10, that's as likely come from
security.debian.org as from sid.

If it's there.  Regardless, add to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

(adjust the contrib/non-free to your preferences)

Do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -u

Then you should have your libc6 at 2.2.5-11.1, and be able to apt-get install
libc6-dev at 2.2.5-11.1 without problem.
