That will be:
2.2.5-6 => woody
2.2.5-9.woody.4 => woody-proposed-updates
2.2.5-10 => woody security updates
apt-cache is just telling you about all the versions referred to by
repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list. Eventually they'll be brought
into sync, but the glibc security update was quite recent and ran into
several technical problems so it hasn't quite been tidied up yet.
