I think I have some more information about this bug, although I'm not
sure if it's actually the same.

sudo aptitude install libc6-amd64
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc6-amd64: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5) but 2.7-9 is installed.
[...]
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Install the following packages:
libc6-amd64 [2.7-9 (unstable, now)]
[...]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

Note that libc6-amd64 is "(unstable, now)".  Indeed:
rc  libc6-amd64    2.7-9          GNU C Library: 64bit Shared libraries for AM

So, aptitude initially decided to not install the stable version (from
Default-Release) due to dependencies, calculated a solution, but then
decided that the installation would do nothing since it wasn't in
state "removed".  However I think the correct check test would be
closer to "if package in state *installed*".
