Still doesn't solve the problem of the hamm libc5 conflicting with
libc5-dev and the bo libc5 conflicting with libc6.  It is a compilation of
different breakages here.  My concern is for people who still want to do
libc5 development WITH THEIR NORMAL SETUP while installing a few libc6
packages.

Note, I maintain the Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO, which is posted
here occasionally and always available at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/
