That version did appear on ftp.debian.org on Saturday. The Packages
and Packages.gz files haven't been updated yet, but I was able to
install the new libc6, and subsequently the new dpkg. Of course I
don't want to try "apt-get upgrade" until the Packages files are
updated, but I suspect my problem will go away now that libc6 no
longer conflicts with dpkg.

So what level is ftp.debian.org? If only developers have access to
master.debian.org that means all the other mirrors are rooted
somewhere else. And if users/companies can't mirror off of
master.debian.org then ftp.debian.org is, as far as us LUSERs go, the
most direct source we have for mirroring the Debian site ourselves,
thus my use of the word "direct". I'm sure it's not the only
anonymously accesible first level Debian mirror, but, as far as I'm
concerned, it is as "direct" as I can get.
