Only thing I can think of is something like this:
dpkg-divert --package my-libc6-wrapper --add /lib/libc-2.7.so
cp /lib/libc-2.7.so /lib/libc-2.7.so.my-libc6-wrapper
and
mv /lib/libc-2.7.so.my-libc6-wrapper /lib/libc-2.7.so
dpkg-divert --package my-libc6-wrapper --remove /lib/libc-2.7.so
A case where an intervall without the file is unacceptable.
