$ apt-file search /sbin/termwrap
base-config: usr/sbin/termwrap
$ apt-file search /lib/ld.so
ldso: lib/ld.so.1.9.11
Re. base-config:
"It can be removed with no ill effects -- now that your Debian system
is installed, this package's only useful function is to allow you to
reconfigure some of the things it asked you about earlier."
Re. ldso:
"You do not need this package unless you have very old programs which
use libc4 or libc5. The libc6 package has its own dynamic linker that
is used for all current programs."
You can go ahead and remove base-config if it is installed, or remove
/sbin/termwrap if base-config is not installed.
Likewise for lsdo and /lib/ld.so.
Because of the results you got with dpkg -S I think you will find you
have base-config installed and ldso not.
