This is from NEWS.Debian.gz of the latest libc6 package:
-------------------------
glibc (2.6.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
Starting with version 2.6.1, the glibc ships /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf that
enforces /usr/local/lib to take precedence over /usr/lib. This is the
intended behaviour (it works like the $PATH where /usr/local/bin takes
precedence over /usr/bin).
To revert that (and it is highely unrecommended) you can add /usr/lib front
in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf. (see bug#440394).
-------------------------
The apt-listchanges packages is extremely handy to make sure you are not
missing such important announcements. It integrates into apt(itude) and
shows you all the NEWS (and optionally the complete changelogs) of the
packages that you are about to install. It also allows you to cancel the
installation in the event of bad NEWS.
