I'm in the same situation.

You can tell dselect to ignore dependencies by using R and Q.
Unfortunately, you have to tell it each time you use it.

I believe dselect doesn't use much force when installing, so it's not as
dangerous as it sounds. AFAIK the hamm and slink libc6 are fairly similar,
anyway.
