Package: libc6

Hi,

glibc2.11 adds RES_USE_DNSSEC support which is needed for ssh[1] to
properly handle SSHFP records.

Existing backports suggest that the change is well contained:

https://www.hauke-lampe.de/linkedstuff/glibc-2.7-res_use_dnssec_anslen_backported_2.11-debian-lenny.patch
I haven't tried them however.

Please add this support to whatever we will ship with squeeze.

Cheers,
weasel
