Actually, you'll UPGRADE libc5 to a version that places some files in
other places to be able to coexist with libc6. This version depends on
libc6, so read the mini-HOWTO for details on this.
The libc6 *-dev packages are mostly named *g-dev, like the library
packages that have been renamed from lib* to lib*g. The libc5 *-dev
packages have been renamed to *-altdev. If you upgrade to a libc6 system
you will have to upgrade many packages like locales, *-dev, gcc and many
other things.
But, if you just follow the libc5-libc6-mini-howto you'll get there
without any serious trouble.
