The libc6 on the boot-floppies is from package libc6-pic:
--------
Description: GNU C Library: PIC archive library
Contains an archive library (ar file) composed of individual shared objects.
This is used for creating a library which is a smaller subset of the
standard libc shared library. The reduced library is used on the Debian
boot floppies. If you are not making your own set of Debian boot floppies
using the `boot-floppies' package, you probably don't need this package.
--------
But I suggest using the yard package to create the boot-floppy set. And you can
regain the space lost because using the standard libc by formatting the floppies
at a higher capacity (eg.1743K).
