Yeah, but evidently they were compiled on machines with some potato
packages, which leaves them with hanging dependencies once moved into
slink.

No. That's the problem. Look:
open:~$ cd /home/ftp/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-alpha
open:.../binary-alpha$ dpkg --info mail/sendmail_8.9.3-3.deb | grep Depends:
Depends: libc6.1 (>= 2.1), libdb2 (>= 2.3.16), netbase (>= 1.26-1), m4, procmail | deliver
open:.../binary-alpha$ ls base/libc6.1*
base/libc6.1_2.0.7.19981211-6.deb
open:.../binary-alpha$
Cheers, Phil.
