Scheduled, as appropriate.

Two things of note:

- apt 0.7.4 still provides libapt-pkg-libc6.5-6-4.4 on m68k, rather than
  libapt-pkg-libc6.6-6-4.4, because glibc 2.6 has not yet built on m68k.
- apt really shouldn't be including the glibc upstream minor version number
  in the soname at all, because glibc rigorously preserves ABI changes
  within a given SONAME.  This would obviously require Yet Another Soname
  Change to fix, but it would be nice to get it done once for all.  Would
  you care to file a bug on apt about this?
