Craig Sanders' autoup script is the way to go, but first make sure
that you read Scott Ellis' Mini-HOWTO at:
  http://www.debian.org/doc/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html
also available as a link from:
  http://www.debian.org/developers_corner.html

You should do this not only so that you know what process is being
automated, but also because it mentions some of the ramifications of
the upgrade which aren't discussed in the script.  The autoup script
does not yet have its own stand-alone documentation.
