I don't mind to remove it.  However, if you want to delete Provides:
libc6-dev, please fill bug report to packages which has "Depends:
libc6-dev".  At least on my environment:

  > grep-available -F Depends,Recommends,Suggests libc6-dev | grep ^Package: | 
wc
      200     400    4387

It already acquired popularity.  I don't know any strong requirement
to get rid of providing libc6-dev.  If you don't have any interests to
work for it, I also don't mind to close this report.
