oldlibs/libc5*

The debian rules is a bit out of date regarding policy number.  Maybe
it does not put a source: line in the changes file.
Do you think I should upload a new release as soon as possible just to fix
this problem ? (I'm afraid I don't have lot of time to work on it now as I'm
already working on building new boot disks for sparc).

Regards.
