You're wrong about libc6 conflicting with libc5:

    blp:/raid/home/blp$ dpkg -s libc6
    Package: libc6
    Status: install ok installed
    Priority: required
    Section: base
    Installed-Size: 1421
    Maintainer: Helmut Geyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    Source: glibc
    Version: 2.0.5c-0.1
    Pre-Depends: ldso (>= 1.8.10-1)
    Conflicts: libpthread0 (<= 0.5-10)
    Description: The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files).
     Includes shared libraries needed to run programs.

However, libc6-dev and libc5-dev conflict.  Your programs shouldn't
depend on these, however; only development libraries should.
