ACK. It's a problem to ship the different things in separate
packages. If it's really a problem for smaller systems to have all the
variants because of size, is there maybe another way to do things? How
about keeping the existing libc and have an extra package
("libc-optimised") with all the optimised versions *and* the basic
version, and have it provide/replace/conflict libc6?
