At the time, it was source-titled 'libc12' as well. I concur, however,
with the thought of renaming the source to netbsd-libc, and the package
as it stands (that is, the one in the Debian-BSD archive, and which will
be uploaded to the main archive once netbsd-* arch sections exist) is now
source-named netbsd-libc.
