That is most likely true... but as a user, who want's to have a libc6
system. Wouldn't it me more normal, to have the packages all developed
and linked to libc6 libraries, and provide libc5-compat libraries as an
extra (in hamm, that is), just to be able to run old programs? The blended
environment that has been there for a while, is a little problematic IMHO.
