This is because the package maker made the package specifically for sarge, if
I recall correctly. I am running sarge's libc6, locales and libc6-dev
packages and so far I have had no problems. The simple way to do it is to
pull the packages from packages.debian.org and then install them manually
with dpkg. You'll need to manually fill out all the dependencies, and
provided that it's correct, an apt one liner should do it.
