Oh, I didn't know this... The practice should be to just add the "-udeb" string to the corresponding deb package name. So it should be named libc6.1-udeb for alpha and ia64. Same holds for #183143: libc6-udeb should Provide: libc6 and for alpha it should be Provides: libc6.1 Th reason, why the soname number must be included in the udeb name is the same why we include it in regular packages. When doing a netinstall, udebs can be loaded from the archive at install time. When there is no way to distingiush a libc, that is binary incompatible to the programs on the install disk, we will have a problem.
