More basic than that. You will find packages that refuse to build without
pulling in a new libc6 they don't even need. This comes from a dependency
for say:
>= libc6_2.2.5-13
when there is actually no reason that anything after
>= libc6_2.2.1-1
would have worked. Perhaps there are good reasons for requiring the absolute
latest revision. Usually there are not unless you really do intend to
upgrade a large chunk of your system.
The case you are describing is far worse. It's broken period, not
just an annoyance and the cause of loads of unnecessary package
dependency caused upgrades.
