The more I think about this, the more it confuses me. Even if libc6
Pre-Depends on base-files, does that guarantee that libc6 is unpacked
after base-files while bootstrapping a system? That would be necessary
if you want to put ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 into /lib64.
If that is not your plan, how are amd64 binaries supposed to work when
all you have is /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 and no /lib64 symlink to it
(on foreign architectures)?
