On an x86 system running Woody:

Package: libc6
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Installed-Size: 8226
Maintainer: Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
Source: glibc
Version: 2.2-5

Package: xfree86-common
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 716
Maintainer: Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>
Source: xfree86
Version: 4.0.1-11

But the packages are in Woody (on the x86 architecture, anyway) nontheless.
