No, you don't need to reinstall.  You do need to install certain packages
in a specific order, however, to avoid conflicts when upgrading to libc6.
The easiest way is to use the autoup.sh script, found on 

http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/ and at: http://www.taz.net.au/autoup/

It would also be helpful to read the libc5-libc6 mini-HOWTO, available at

http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html
