I see. Whenever I download a google talk plugin .deb package, I store
them on my hard drive. Here is what I have.

google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb
The date in the front tells me when I downloaded a package. It looks
like google changed the libc6 dependency somewhere between 2014-08-06
and 2014-12-20

If you want, I can email you
20140806_google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb or you can just upgrade
to Jessie which has libc6 2.19-13.
thanks
