Looking at the bugs, two show just that the package is neglected - they
have patches for some time.
The remaining ones:
#336367: FTBFS: uclibc missing asm-i486/mman.h
should be easy as well
#261725: libuclibc0 - violates FHS
as this is a cross-suite, I think the reasons for sarge-ignore are still
valid enough to not really mind about this bug - but we need some
perspective that it is actually resolved in time for lenny.

Andi
