Yes, glibc is libc6.
Debian _is_ using libc6 ... that's what the current unstable version
(hamm) is all about (and it's the big reason the current unstable is
taking time to become stable)
Debian's trying to do it right the first time. I haven't used RH 5, but
I hear it's a bit dodgy due to libc5 <=> libc6 interactions.
